Artist, French, 1861 - 1944

The image depicts two figures immersed in water. The figure in the foreground lies on their side with long, wavy hair flowing behind them. The second figure is positioned slightly behind, semi-reclined with one arm extending behind, revealing more of the upper torso and face. Both figures have long, loose hair. They are surrounded by a dense, linear representation of a forest. The drawing is in a single tone of orange on a plain background, encapsulated within a square border in the center of a larger pale background.
