Le Peril Anarchiste is a 1897 ink by Jean-Louis Forain, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a long coat holding a small child while talking to a woman in a long dress. They’re indoors, near a chair and a clothesline with laundry. The man looks worried, and the woman is listening. The title *Le Peril Anarchiste* hints at a political message—maybe about fear of revolution. The loose lines and soft colors fit the artist’s quick, sketchy style. Check out Forain, Jean-Louis for more of his sharp, everyday scenes.
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.
