Artist, French, 1901 - 1985

The image shows a textured background with irregular lines and speckled patterns. The composition resembles the weathered look of a stone wall or an aged piece of parchment. The rough texture and varying shades of brown give it an appearance similar to ancient, dried earth or tree bark.
