Passante is a 1895 ink by Auguste Donnay, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a person standing inside a dimly lit room, holding a small object close to their face. The walls are plain, and the light comes from a window on the left, casting shadows. Outside the window, you can see trees and what looks like a fence or railing. The greenish tint and rough lines suggest this was made using a printmaking method. The artist focused on simple shapes and light, not details. Look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
