This mixed media work is executed in gouache with passages of luminous gold leaf. Vertical planes of ochre, rust, deep blue, and muted plum interlock in a rhythmic arrangement. Fine linear accents animate the surface, while the application of gold leaf introduces a subtle radiance that shifts gently with the light, enriching the composition’s depth and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigned lower left, the work encapsulates Saint-Sorny’s mature engagement with Cubist principles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePierre Saint-Sorny trained first at the Royal Academy in Brussels (1932–1933), continuing at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Mons (1934–1935), where he was awarded the Grand Prize for Design. After the war, he resumed his studies at the Académie de Namur, earning the Sculpture Prize in 1946.
