Two Girls in Chemises (Deux fillettes en chemise) is a 1893 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows two kids sitting close together, their arms around each other. They’re wearing simple, loose shirts and look like they’re resting. The background is just a dark shape with a faint line where the ground might be. The artist used a bold black-and-white style, almost like a sketch. The lines are sharp, and the whole thing looks like it was carved into wood. Next, check out the technique: woodcut to see how this kind of printmaking works.
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.
