Artist, French, 1867 - 1944

The image shows a close-up vertical view of a tree's curved branches intersecting with an intricately designed balustrade. The tree trunk and branches weave through the composition, crossing the balustrade at different levels. The horizon is not clearly defined, with the focus on the tree and the architectural element. The style features clean lines outlining the tree and the balustrade, resembling a sketch or line drawing. The color palette is minimal, with earthy tones and stark black outlines creating a simple yet striking visual impact.
