About this work

This sketch shows four people standing close together, their backs to us. Two hold flowers, one in a tall vase and the other in a smaller bouquet. They’re dressed in loose, old-fashioned clothes, and the scene looks like a garden or park with a fence and a tree branch at the top. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and light, not perfect details. This style was common in prints from that time. Next, look up lithography to see how artists like Vuillard made prints like this.
