From the collection of National Gallery of Art
A la Conference de la Paix is a 1916 by Jean-Louis Forain, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men in a dim room. One stands stiffly, arms crossed, wearing a cap and loose clothes. The other sits slumped on a chair, head down, also in work clothes. The lighting is uneven, with dark shadows on the walls and floor. The title hints this might be about a peace conference, but the mood feels heavy. The rough lines and quick strokes make it feel urgent, like a hasty note. Check out Forain, Jean-Louis for more sketches like this.
Jean-Louis Forain (French pronunciation: ; 23 October 1852 – 11 July 1931) was a French Impressionist painter and printmaker, working in media including oils, watercolour, pastel, etching and lithograph.
