Artist, French, 1868 - 1940

This is a drawing of several figures in a close space, depicted with bold brushstrokes in sepia tones. The background is loosely sketched, suggesting an interior setting. The figures are grouped together, some with more detail than others, creating a sense of depth and movement. In the lower right, there are abstract elements. The style is expressionistic, capturing the essence of the scene through minimalist elements.
