Französische Grafik 1887–1891, 1889

The image displays bold geometric shapes, including a large circle intersected by a T and L shape. These shapes are filled with a mosaic of colors, giving the impression of stacked colored blocks. Inside the circle, there is an abstract representation of a person in headwear facing a sunset, depicted in a pixelated or pointillist style. The border of the image consists of lines and rectangles in contrasting colors, framing the central composition. The overall arrangement resembles a stained-glass window or a kaleidoscope art piece.
