About this work

A pen-and-ink illustration titled This Can Happen by Charles Dana Gibson, dated 1896. Two figures in formal dress stand in a doorway, a man in a bowler hat holding a cane while a woman in a long skirt follows closely behind him, as a third man slumps in a chair in the dark room to the left. The bold hatching and high contrast between the shadowed interior and the lit doorway give the scene a theatrical, editorial quality.
