Sainte Agnès is a 1895 ink by Jean Danguy, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting alone on a grassy hillside. She’s dressed in a loose, flowing robe, holding something small in her hands. Behind her, a line of trees and a distant, faint sky create a quiet background. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest light and shadow instead of smooth details. This style makes the scene feel quick and natural, almost like a hurried note from nature. Want to see more work like this?
