Deux croquis is a 1895 ink by Henri-Charles Guérard, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image features two sketches of men's heads, one above the other, on a beige background. The top sketch is smaller and shows a man with short, spiky hair and a collared shirt. The bottom sketch is larger and depicts a man wearing a top hat and holding a cane, with his face partially obscured by his hand. The sketches are rendered in black ink and have a rough, expressive quality to them. The artist's use of bold lines and loose brushstrokes gives the impression of spontaneity and energy. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you might want to look into lithography.
Henri Charles Guérard (26 April 1846, Paris - 24 March 1897, Paris) was a French painter and printmaker, particularly in etching and lithography.
