Französische Grafik 1899–1902, um 1902

In this abstract composition, soft lines and blurred edges converge to form shapes that suggest familiar figures. The curving outlines at the center resemble a person riding an animal and another animal figure beside them. The background dissolves into a blend of colors that evoke a natural landscape setting, with areas that could be interpreted as trees or foliage. On the left side, spiraling shapes bear a resemblance to floral elements.
