Japanese Fantasy is a 1884 ink by Leon Moran, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing robe with a high collar and a fan in her hand. Her hair is styled up, and she’s standing next to a tall, narrow vase. The background is filled with quick, sketchy lines that look like wind-blown grass or reeds. The artist used a technique that leaves lots of texture, almost like scratching into the surface. This makes the image feel lively and rough around the edges. Next, look up etching to see how this method works.
