Artist, French, 1871 - 1958

The image contains a dominant, sweeping dark shape that arcs from the top left to the bottom right, creating a sense of motion across the composition. In the lower right quadrant, a human figure is depicted with a curved arm extending upwards, its body echoing the dynamic lines of the scene. The figure’s face, partially obscured, adds an element of familiarity amidst the abstract elements. The background consists of bold and subtle brushstrokes, enhancing the abstract nature while resembling shadows and light filtering through a dense canopy.
