Le Gagnant (The Winner)

Félix Vallotton

National Gallery of Art

This is a black and white drawing of a group of figures leaning over a fence with raised hands, surrounded by a dense crowd. The figures are gesturing energetically towards the railing. Various headwear and clothing are visible on the figures. The drawing features bold lines, negative space, and a signature or title "LE GAGNANT" at the bottom right corner. The style is influenced by early 20th-century graphic design or woodcut prints.
