Charley Looking at an Album of Prints is a 1898 ink by Jan Toorop, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a girl sitting on a floor, leaning over a low table. She’s looking at a flat object—maybe a book or album—while a dog lies nearby. Behind her, a window opens to a garden with tall plants and flowers. The room has simple furniture and a round mirror on the wall. The artist used thin, sketchy lines to show light and shadow. The girl’s focus on the album suggests it might hold something special. Check out Toorop, Jan for more of his detailed drawings.
Johannes Theodorus "Jan" Toorop was a Dutch painter who worked in various styles, including Symbolism, Art Nouveau, and Pointillism. His early work was influenced by the Amsterdam Impressionism movement.
