Artist, French, 1861 - 1944

This is a drawing of a nude figure sitting under a tree, featured in a simplified line art style using bold red lines on a pale background. The figure is seated on a large rock or boulder with its back against the tree trunk. The tree's branches extend outward, adorned with clusters of leaves. The surrounding area is filled with different forms of foliage outlined in red ink. The composition emphasizes the fluidity of the lines used to depict natural elements and the human form.
