Danseuses dans leur loge (Dancers in Their Dressing Room) is a 1876 ink by Jean-Louis Forain, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two women in a dressing room. One is sitting with her back to you, adjusting something on a table. The other stands nearby, facing away, with her hair up. The room looks messy, with clothes, a mirror, and a lamp on the table. The lines are scratchy and fast, like the artist was working quickly. This style was common in etchings of the time.
