Mirages is a 1893 ink by Henri-Gabriel Ibels, a Impressionism work, depicting Sheet Music, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows three women in long dresses and big hats walking on a city street. The background blurs into soft, cloudy shapes. They look like they’re floating. The artist used just five colors to make the whole scene. That keeps the focus on the women’s shapes and how they move. Look up lithography to see how this printing method works.
Henri-Gabriel Ibels (1867–1936) was a French artist, born in 10ᵗʰ arrondissement of Paris.
