Etude (Maurice Dumont) is a 1895 ink by Henri de Groux, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image shows a black and white lithograph portrait of a man with a beard and mustache. He has short, wavy hair and is wearing a collared shirt with a tie. The background is dark, with visible shading that adds depth to the portrait. The subject's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The overall tone of the portrait is somber, with the use of dark colors and shading creating a sense of intensity. This portrait is an example of the work of artist Henri de Groux, who was active in the late 19th century and was associated with the Impressionism and Realism movements.
