Study for 'Les cinq peintres' (The Five Painters) is a 1902 graphite by Félix Vallotton, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows four people sitting and standing close together. The lines are loose and quick, like a rough draft. One person stands holding what looks like a cup, while the others sit in chairs, their faces blurred. The drawing feels unfinished, with light shading and no color. It’s just pencil on paper, almost like a quick note. Next, check out Vallotton, Félix for more of his work.
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.
