Toilette des enfants dans le Jardin is a 1910 ink by Suzanne Valadon, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows four kids outside under a tree. Two sit on the ground, one leaning on the other. The other two stand, reaching up to fill a bucket from a well. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried sketch. The artist used drypoint, a technique where lines are scratched into a metal plate. This makes the marks sharp but soft at the same time. Look up Valadon, Suzanne to see more of her work.
Marie-Clémentine "Suzanne" Valadon (French pronunciation: ; 23 September 1865 – 7 April 1938) was a French painter who was born at Bessines-sur-Gartempe, Haute-Vienne, France.
