Le Talion; La Cage; Ceux qui restent; Fortune is a 1898 ink by Louis Anquetin, a Impressionism work, depicting Satyr, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows three small scenes stacked like boxes: a man’s face, a bird in a cage, and a hand holding coins. Each image feels sharp and separate, yet together they hint at payback, confinement, and luck. The black ink stays heavy and flat—no shades, just bold lines. Try looking up lithography to see how artists carve images onto stone before printing.
