Louis SOUTTER (1871-1942), "La fête extraordinaire des fées et divins êtres", Indian ink on squared paper, titled on the back. H. 17.5 x 22 cm Although part of a series of drawings Soutter devoted to Byzantine-influenced Venetian churches, this composition stands out for its particular treatment of night, which he depicts through two types of stars surmounting the domes, some of which appear in the form of crosses.
