Two drinking women, print, printmaker: Jean-Louis Boussingault (signed by artist), 1893 - 1943, paper, lithography, height 388 mm x width 282 mm, inn, coffee-house, public house, drinking, A monochrome sketch shows two women close together, one seated in the foreground with a bare-shouldered dress and stylized dark hair swept across her forehead, her hand raised near her neck and her eyes cast downward; behind her a second woman leans in with darker hair and a softer, smudged facial rendering, resting close to the first woman's shoulder. The foreground woman wears a low neckline with visible shading suggesting fabric folds, and a plate with rounded objects is placed near the lower edge of the image. The drawing features varied pencil or charcoal textures, areas of dense dark shading for hair and garments, and lighter, more diffuse strokes for faces and background, with an overall soft, sketch-like quality.
