Etude (Le rameur) is a 1895 ink by Alexandre Lunois, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a person sitting on a chair, half-dressed with one arm resting on their lap. The background is a loose, dark shape that looks like a wall or curtain. The lines are rough and the colors are mostly green and gray, with quick, uneven strokes. The artist used a technique where ink is drawn on a smooth stone before being pressed onto paper. This method lets you see the marks and layers of the drawing clearly. Try looking up *lithography* to see how this process works.
