Deux croquis is a 1895 ink by Henri-Charles Guérard, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph features two sketches in green on china paper. The top sketch depicts a man's head with a short, spiky haircut, while the bottom sketch shows a man wearing a top hat and holding a cane in his right hand. The two sketches are rendered in a loose, expressive style, with bold lines and minimal detail. The use of green ink adds a sense of warmth and depth to the image. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of texture and tactility, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of the sketches. For more on the artist's technique, look up lithography.
Henri Charles Guérard (26 April 1846, Paris - 24 March 1897, Paris) was a French painter and printmaker, particularly in etching and lithography.
