La Ronde is a 1897 ink by Henri Eugéne Le Sidaner, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a group of four people standing close together, their faces blurred. Their clothes look simple, and they’re all turned slightly toward each other. The background is dark and grainy, making the figures stand out in light tones. The artist used a rough, textured style that hides details on purpose. This was a quick study, not a finished painting—just a few lines and shading to show shapes and movement. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
