About this work

This drawing shows four strange, ink-blot shapes on white paper. Two look like half-open shells or masks, one resembles a clawed hand, and the fourth is a bird’s head with wild feathers. The lines are thick and uneven, with some areas filled in with dark ink. The artist signed it in the corner—*"Fougeron"*—but no other details are visible. The rough, sketchy style makes it feel quick, almost like doodles. Next, check out André Fougeron to see how his work changed over time.
