Le pas de l'oie - dans le sang

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a figure created with sweeping lines and angular shapes, suggesting movement. The exaggerated pose and limbs resemble a marching soldier, with a pointed helmet on the head. Loose lines around the figure indicate motion. The composition has a dynamic and abstract quality that may evoke military themes.
