Jeanne Granier is a 1896 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s face and shoulders, drawn in loose, quick lines. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a high collar with a hint of lace. The edges are rough, almost like scribbles, and the background is just a dark shape behind her head. The sketch feels unfinished, like a fast study rather than a polished work. It’s made using a technique that lets the artist press ink onto stone and paper. Next, check out lithography to see how this sketch was made.
Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse-Lautrec (French: ), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator.
