You see a man sitting at a table, looking tired. He's surrounded by papers and books. The man seems to be taking a break, maybe he's finished his work. The scene is quiet and simple, but it tells us something about the man's life. He might be a writer or an artist, and he's been working hard. Look up the technique of chiaroscuro to learn more about how artists use light and dark to create mood.
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.
