Edmond dessinant (Edmond Drawing, Stenterello, and Other Sketches) is a 1864 ink by Jules de Goncourt, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a collection of sketches, featuring four different scenes. In the top left, a person is curled up, while in the top right, another person is lying down. The bottom left shows a person sitting on a chair, and the bottom right depicts a person sitting on the floor, drawing. The sketches are done in a loose, expressive style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of spontaneity and energy.
