Jules Pascin

Premiere Rencontre entre Herode et Salome
1930

This is an artwork on a red background featuring various sketched figures in red and some details in yellow. On the left, a seated figure with a beard and crossed legs appears contemplative. In the center, a crowned figure with a large fur collar is surrounded by animals and other characters, including a person riding a horse. On the right, a woman rides a horse, holding an object aloft. The scene is whimsical and has a dreamlike quality, with text at the bottom indicating a title or description in French.
