Girl Spearing Dolphin is a 1900 charcoal by Elihu Vedder, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting is called Girl Spearing Dolphin by Elihu Vedder. It's from around 1900 and combines elements of Impressionism and Realism. The artist used charcoal and chalk on green wove paper to create this work. I don't know much about the image itself since I haven't seen it. The title suggests a dramatic scene, and the use of charcoal and chalk implies a range of tonal values. Check out the movement Impressionism to learn more about this style.
Elihu Vedder (26 February 1836 – 29 January 1923) was an American symbolist painter, book illustrator and poet from New York City.
