Louis SOUTTER (1871-1942), "Rêve", Indian ink on squared paper (double page), titled at bottom.
H. 22 x 34.6 cm
In this drawing on a page from one of his notebooks, Soutter offers a homogeneous vision of a group of men and women, some clothed, some naked, whose faces are animated by dense, rhythmic hatching. The title, included in the very composition, reveals the surreal sense of this gathering.
