Greeting Grandmother (Le Bonjour à la Grand-mère)

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image is a room sketch with three figures. In the foreground, a person lies on a bed, while another person stands near the bed, offering a child. A third individual stands by a window, holding the curtains open to let daylight in. The room includes furniture like a tall cabinet and a picture frame. The sketch is done in monochrome with shading for depth.
