Artist, French, 1871 - 1958

This is a painting of a crucifixion scene with abstract figures surrounding it. The central figure is on a cross marked with "INRI" above it, surrounded by at least three other figures. The figures are formed using bold, expressive brushstrokes in shades of black and grey. The painting has a stark contrast between dark and light. The background is simple, with minimal elements, allowing the focus to remain on the figures. This is in the style of Georges Rouault.
