About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows a raven perched on a windowsill. The bird faces you, its feathers detailed in sharp lines. Above it, a rope hangs from a hook, and birds fly around a small balcony. Below, a sign with French text reads like a warning. The raven’s dark shape stands out against a rough brick wall. The words on the sign are playful but mysterious—no one knows exactly what they mean. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of this artist’s work.
