Artist, French, 1868 - 1940

The image shows an impressionistic ink drawing of a person from the upper body to the upper legs. The person seems to be in motion, with one arm raised. Facial features are vague, with minimal details. The hair is represented by dark strokes around the head. The figure is wearing a loose garment with broad strokes for movement. No jewelry or specific objects are present. The background is a lightly textured paper with varying degrees of black ink application.
