Artist, French, 1870 - 1943

The image contains two small black and white square prints, each featuring intricate abstract lines and shapes. In the upper print, curved and straight lines create a scene reminiscent of a mother cradling her child within a small, enclosed space, framed by a window. The lower print's abstract composition suggests silhouettes of figures merging with angular forms, with a pattern resembling a striped background and shapes that could be interpreted as musical instruments or dancers.
