Les attitudes sont faciles et chastes is a 1896 ink by Maurice Denis, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a woman resting her head on her hand, looking down. Behind her is a garden with a tree, a path, and a distant figure in blue. The colors are soft—pinks, greens, and blues—with a dreamy, blurred look. The title means *"Attitudes are easy and chaste"* in French, hinting at a quiet, simple moment. The artist used a printmaking method to create this loose, sketchy style. Next, check out lithography to see how this technique works.
Maurice Denis (French: ; 25 November 1870 – 13 November 1943) was a French painter, decorative artist, and writer.
