About this work

This image is a lithograph in black on wove paper, titled "Supplement to 'L'Omnibus de Corinthe'". It features two faces, one on the left and one on the right, with the word "OMNIBUS" written above them and "CORINTHE" below. The faces are drawn in a simple yet expressive style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The image also includes some handwritten text at the bottom, which appears to be a signature or a note from the artist. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with a focus on the expressive qualities of the human face. The use of lithography as a medium adds a sense of texture and depth to the image, making it feel more tactile and engaging.
