La Ronde 1897

Henri Eugène Le Sidaner's 1897 drawing "La Ronde" depicts a group of women in a circle, their forms rendered in soft, hazy strokes. The artist's use of charcoal creates a sense of ethereal beauty and mystery, blurring the lines between the women's figures and the background. Their flowing gowns and delicate features evoke a sense of elegance and grace, while their enigmatic expressions invite contemplation. This work is representative of Le Sidaner's Symbolist style, which emphasized emotion and subjective experiences over realism.
