Diana
1952

This is an etching of a surreal figure that appears to be a blend of human and animal elements, with a dark, textured background. The central figure has a human-like form with a pale face, dark eyes, and is surrounded by fish and other sea creatures. The artwork has a dreamlike, eerie quality, and there are inscriptions at the bottom indicating the title "Diane" and the artist's name "Marcel Parturier." The image is bordered by a light-colored margin.
