André Dunoyer de Segonzac

Artist, French, 1884 - 1974

The image shows an interior scene with various animal motifs and abstract line work. Sketches of birds and other animals are placed around what appears to be a gallery or theater setting. The lines give a sense of movement and activity. There is a figure standing to the right with feather-like features, possibly an extravagant costume. Abstract lines and minimal detail suggest an audience in the background.
