Le solitaire is a 1895 ink by B.-A. Neuburger, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting on a couch, brushing her hair with a small hand mirror. Her hair is long and loose, and she’s dressed in a simple, flowing dress. Behind her is a vase with a few flowers, and the room looks quiet and dim. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and texture—notice how the hair and fabric look almost alive. This style was common in late 19th-century art. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like this made prints with smooth, layered lines.
