Artist, French, 1848 - 1903

The image shows a series of fluid lines and shapes creating an abstract composition within a rectangle. In the center, the abstract forms suggest the shape of a figure sitting with their head in their hands. To the left, swirling lines resemble waves. On the right, there are more vertical curved lines akin to wood grain patterns. The overall arrangement is abstract.
