Père is a 1894 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet room with three people. A woman sits at a desk, reading or writing, while a man leans over her shoulder. On the floor, a child lies on their stomach, looking up at them. The background is plain, but the text around them lists names and event details in bold, uneven letters. The drawing uses simple shapes and rough lines, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The text is all in French, naming people and an event called a "Soirée de Gala." This is made using lithography.
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.
