Patience—Bannières de Mai 1949

"Patience—Bannières de Mai" is a 1949 ink drawing by French artist Fernand Léger (1881–1955). The artwork depicts a series of abstract forms reminiscent of organic matter like seaweed or plants, rendered in Léger's signature simplified style. The drawing features a light blue wash that emphasizes the fluid lines of the composition, creating a sense of movement and depth. This piece is characteristic of Léger's later work, which often explored themes of nature and abstraction, reflecting his interest in the natural world and its potential for artistic expression.
