The Embroideres (Les Brodeuses), is a 1898 by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two women sitting close together, both bent over a piece of fabric. One holds a needle, while the other rests her hand on the table. The room around them is dark, with a window on the right letting in a little light. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to show the women’s focus on their work. The lighting is soft, with shadows blending into the background. Next, look up Impressionism to see how this style played with light and everyday scenes.
Ignace Henri Jean Theodore Fantin-Latour (French pronunciation: ; 14 January 1836 – 25 August 1904) was a French painter and lithographer best known for his flower paintings and group portraits of Parisian artists and writers.
