Boubouroche; Valet de coeur is a 1892 ink by Henri-Gabriel Ibels, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two people in a bright, oddly shaped scene. The person on the left is bent over, holding something small, while the one on the right stands with their back turned. Behind them, a bridge stretches over a river with boats floating nearby, and a small house sits on the shore. The painting’s flat colors and bold outlines feel more like a print than a detailed picture. The artist used simple shapes and strong lines to tell the story. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
Henri-Gabriel Ibels (1867–1936) was a French artist, born in 10ᵗʰ arrondissement of Paris.
