C'est la, que j'ai fini le cure is a 1916 ink by Jean-Louis Forain, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a cap and coat, leaning on a cane, looking up at a tall figure on a pedestal. The background is mostly blank, with just a few quick lines for trees. The drawing is loose and sketchy, with lots of shading and scribbly marks. The man seems to be studying the statue, which looks like a soldier holding a rifle. The artist used ink and wash to create a rough, quick feel—like a draft rather than a finished work. If you like this style, check out Forain, Jean-Louis.
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.
