Consolation is a 1892 ink by Jean-Louis Forain, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a man and a woman sitting together. The man is bald and has a mustache. He's wearing dark clothing and looking down. The woman is wearing a light-colored dress and has her hair pulled back. She's leaning over the man, looking at him with concern. The drawing is done in black crayon, brush, and ink on wove paper. It has a loose, expressive style, with lots of quick lines and shading. The overall mood is somber and intimate.
