Le Volant 1895

"Le Volant" is a lithograph by Ker-Xavier Roussel, created in 1895. It depicts a scene of three figures in a park, with a large tree dominating the upper left corner. The work is an example of Roussel's early artistic style, characterized by its use of bold lines and contrasts of light and dark. The graphic nature of the work suggests a connection to Art Nouveau and other contemporary artistic trends. The title, "Le Volant," translates to "The Kite," which could be a reference to the freedom and playfulness of the figures or the ephemeral nature of life.
