Georges Rouault

Associated Names

Georges Rouault

Artist, French, 1871 - 1958

The image features bold, sweeping black lines and brushstrokes that form curved and angular shapes. The lines create an impression of figures interacting with one another. The composition depicts human-like forms seated or kneeling around a tall candle-like shape in the center. The arrangement of shapes and lines suggests a scene with three characters engaged in a contemplative or conversational moment.
