Louis Gunnis is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Louis Gunnis’s tiny ink drawings feel like secret handshakes—he’d sneak them into letters to friends, tucked between lines of gossip. The 1896 untitled piece in your hands is just a few wiry lines, but they pin down a whole mood in seconds, like a caricature done at speed. Hunt down his “Untitled (1896)” online and zoom in: the shaky economy of the strokes is the guy’s signature, the reason these little scraps still hum.
