Douleur (Sorrow) is a 1895 ink by Jules Emmanuel Valadon, a Impressionism work, depicting Veil, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a dark, simple shape in the center. It’s just a few curved lines against a plain white background. Hard to say if it’s a person or just a mood. Lithography was new then. It let artists work fast and make many prints from one stone. This one feels rough, like the artist’s hand was shaking. It’s like a ghost of early modern art. See how it fits in Impressionism and Realism.
Jules Emmanuel Valadon (1895–1895) was an artist.
