Un caboulet à montmartre (A Dive at Montmartre)

About this work

This sketch shows three women in a dimly lit room, drawn with quick, sketchy lines. One woman stands holding a candle, her face turned slightly away. Another sits on a chair, her head tilted back, while the third leans forward, her hands resting on the chair’s arm. The background is filled with loose, tangled strokes that suggest movement and shadows. The artist uses rough, uneven lines to create a sense of urgency and life. The candlelight adds a soft glow to the scene, making the figures stand out against the dark background. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
