Scène de cabinet particulier (planche en largeur au lavis) (Scene in a Private Room) (horizontal plate with wash) is a 1896 ink by Jean-Louis Forain, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a quiet corner in a private room. A man in a hat reads a paper while a woman in a dark dress sits nearby. The light hits the papers on the table just right. It’s made with brown and black ink on rough paper. The artist used a wash technique to blur some edges, making the room feel soft and private. This looks like work by Toulouse-Lautrec. See it at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
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.
