La jarre couronnée (The Crowned Jar)

Alphonse Osbert and Marcel Schwob (author)

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a figure seated next to a bust in a serene landscape. The image shows a figure with garlanding around the head seated on stone steps next to a large urn. Adjacent to the seated figure is a bust on a pedestal. The scene is completed with a backdrop of trees and distant hills. The style reflects an attention to shadow and texture, capturing the quietness of the environment.
