The Rider

Französische Grafik 1899–1902, ca. 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.
