1867
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Woman Seated is a 1867 by Jean-Louis Forain, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting down, her hair pulled back. She’s wearing a dress with a high collar, and the lines are loose and quick. The paper is mostly blank, with just a few shaded areas for her face and hands. The drawing looks unfinished, like a quick study. The artist didn’t focus on details—just the basic shapes and movement. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
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.
