The Artist's Sister, Marie von Kalckreuth is a 1897 graphite by Leopold von Kalckreuth, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a woman's face, done in graphite on paper. She looks calm and gentle. The artist likely knew her well, as she's his sister, and that personal connection might have helped him draw her so softly. The drawing is simple, yet it tells us about the artist's skill. He paid attention to details, like the shape of her eyes and the curve of her nose. This care in drawing suggests he valued precision.
