Vision is a 1895 by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two women with long, flowing hair and loose robes. One holds a staff, the other leans forward with her arms outstretched. The lines are rough and scratchy, like quick, uneven strokes. The women look like they’re in motion, almost ghostly. The style feels urgent, as if the artist didn’t smooth out the details.
