Artist, French, 1869 - 1899

This appears to be a textured metal plate carved with a scene of tall tree trunks. Some of the trees curve slightly, but most are straight. The metal reflects light, making the carved lines appear white. On the left, there is an outline of what seems to be a woman standing, facing the right. She appears to have long hair and holds a lyre in one hand.  The artwork is set against a plain beige paper background with a signature in the lower right corner.
