About this work

This sketch shows a man with wild hair and a red face sitting in a wooden chair. He’s wearing blue pants, a dark coat, and a striped shirt. Behind him, a woman in a yellow hat and blue dress leans back, half-hidden. The lines are loose and the colors are flat, with no shading. The artist used a technique that looks rough and sketchy, almost like a quick drawing. This style was common in early 1890s France. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this made prints.
