Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

The image shows a sketch of a person in full-body view, reclining on a grassy surface. The individual is lying on their back with arms resting beside their body, and their head is turned slightly to the side. Facial features are simply defined with emphasized lines and the person's hair appears to be of medium length, spread around their head. There is no visible clothing or jewelry. In the background, there are loosely sketched trees or foliage that suggest a natural outdoor setting. The use of black lines on a light background gives an impressionistic quality to the scene.
