1919
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
At Versailles, July 1919 is a 1919 by Jean-Louis Forain, depicting Writing, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a small group in a fancy room with tall windows and ornate furniture. They look tired and serious. One man sits with his head in his hands while others stand around him. This is a rare snapshot of the Treaty of Versailles signing in 1919. Forain was there sketching the scene. He used quick lines to show tired faces and stiff poses.
