Edouard Vuillard is a 1900 ink by Odilon Redon, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a side view of a man with a beard and short hair. His face is drawn in loose, quick lines, leaving some areas slightly blurred. The paper has a light, grainy texture, and the drawing looks like it was made with a pencil or charcoal. The artist left the background almost empty, focusing only on the face and neck. The date "1900" is written in the corner, which matches when it was made. If you want to see more work like this, look up lithography.
