Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer | Sorceress

[artx]

 

Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer (1865-1953) was an Algerian-born artist who spent most of his career in France. Lévy-Dhurmer’s style was ethereal and unique, as particularly illustrated in his pastel drawings. In the mystical pastel Sorceress, a pale woman hooded and gloved in black holds a vial before her. Bats flitter in the background, a black cat crouches on her shoulder, while a blue snake and newt slither upward in the eerie moonlight.
