Versailles, 28 Juin is a 1916 by Jean-Louis Forain, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a bald man in a dark suit sitting at a table. He’s holding a pipe and looking off to the side, with a stack of books and a pencil holder nearby. The background has a few quick, sketchy lines—maybe a garden or some plants. The date at the top reads "Versailles, 28 Juin," but it’s unclear if that’s a real event or just a title. The drawing feels loose and quick, like it was done fast. If you like this style, check out Forain, Jean-Louis.
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.
