Ivory and Celadon is a 1872 by Jules Jacquemart, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two people sitting on a floor, facing each other. One holds a cat. Behind them is a framed picture of flowers in a vase. The lines are rough and dark, with lots of cross-hatching for shading. The title *Ivory and Celadon* hints at the colors of the vase and cat—soft, light tones. The artist used a lot of black ink to create deep shadows and textures. Next, check out Realism to see how artists focused on everyday life like this.
