1883
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Walker is a 1883 by Jean-Louis Forain, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman in a wide-brimmed hat, sitting sideways with her legs crossed. She’s holding a fan in one hand and has a slight smile. The background is mostly empty except for a large "BO" in the corner and a hint of a chair. The loose, sketchy lines and cross-hatching give it a quick, unfinished feel—like a doodle that still feels alive. This style was common in late 19th-century French art. Next, check out Jean Louis Forain to see more of his playful, sketchy work.
Jean-Louis Forain (French pronunciation: ; 23 October 1852 – 11 July 1931) was a French Impressionist painter and printmaker, working in media including oils, watercolour, pastel, etching and lithograph.
