Artist, French, 1870 - 1943

The image features three vertically oriented rectangular shapes, spaced evenly across a neutral background. These rectangles contain abstract line drawings. The first panel showcases lines that resemble a face at the bottom, with vertical strokes overhead that evoke the image of trees. The central panel features a human-like figure outlined against a backdrop of flowing vertical lines. On the rightmost panel, the abstract lines form a swirling shape that brings to mind the visage of an eye and a cascade.
