Artist, French, 1896 - 1987

The image contains irregular, flowing lines and shapes in green and black. One shape resembles a swirling question mark or a bent vine, while another set of lines forms a simplistic outline of a face with an elongated profile. At one end, there are curves and spirals, possibly suggesting an ornate tail or a whimsical pipe. Above this, there are angular strokes hinting at feather texture, resembling a bird's wing. Additionally, there is a dark, circular form with a multi-lobed pattern that could be seen as a leaf or a flower. The composition is set against a textured green background.
