Artist, French, 1871 - 1958

This image consists of thick, bold black lines outlining two humanoid figures. The figure on the right stands with hands on hips, displaying block-like limbs, while the seated figure on the left has a more relaxed posture. The contrast between dark and light creates depth and volume, giving the figures a solid presence. The composition and style suggest a mosaic or stained glass effect, enhancing the abstract nature of the scene.
