Visiting (En visite) 1905

"Visiting (En visite)" is an etching by French artist Jacques Villon, created in 1905. The piece features two women, seated in chairs, in an interior setting. The women are depicted in a slightly distorted, elongated style, typical of Villon's early work. The artist's use of cross-hatching and soft lines creates a sense of both realism and abstraction, capturing the fleeting nature of the moment. The etching's subject matter, the informal gathering of women in a domestic space, reflects a growing interest in everyday life among artists of the early 20th century.
