Artist, French, 1864 - 1901

This is a drawing of an abstract figure dressed in a patterned outfit. The figure is depicted with a checkered jacket and trousers, and a bent posture. The drawing uses bold, black lines against a cream background to outline the figure's form and clothing. An element in the image appears to emanate from the head area. The overall style suggests a loose, quick sketch, capturing the essence of the subject with minimal detail but with a strong emphasis on the pattern and posture. It's a dynamic composition aiming to convey mood or character through clothing and gesture.
