This sketch shows a round face with a big hat. The hair and hat are dark, almost black. The face is soft and a little blurry, with a short beard and mustache. The skin looks pale, and the person’s eyes are closed or half-shut. The artist used quick, rough lines to draw the face. It looks like they were in a hurry or just jotting down ideas. This style was common in a movement that focused on real-life scenes, not polished perfection. Check out lithography to see how artists made prints like this one.
Félix Édouard Vallotton (French: ; December 28, 1865 – December 29, 1925) was a Swiss and French painter and printmaker associated with the group of artists known as Les Nabis.
