Couple in an interior
1905
Fernand Louis Gottlob captures a candid, flirtatious moment in this 1905 sketch, likely intended for a magazine illustration. A bearded man in a suit leans casually over a seated woman, who sports the massive, swooping pompadour hairstyle that defined the Art Nouveau fashion of the time. The loose, energetic pencil strokes and sudden splashes of red and blue ink give the piece a spontaneous feel, as if we've just eavesdropped on a private conversation in a Parisian salon.
