Félicien Rops

Artist, Belgian, 1833 - 1898

This is a drawing of two figures embracing behind a large tree branch or piece of wood. The drawing is done in a sketchy, freeform style with thin lines defining the forms. Both figures are wearing hats, and their faces are close together. The foreground is dominated by a large, gnarled piece of wood or possibly antlers, intricately drawn to show texture and depth. There are delicate illustrations of leaves and branches to the right. The overall atmosphere of the drawing is quiet and intimate.
