The artwork “LA SIBYLLE,” created by Jean Cocteau, belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is part of the Plate Design series. This piece falls within the design genre.
The artwork features a simplified, linear portrait of a human head, rendered with minimalist black lines against a background of warm, earthy tones. The profile view highlights the sharp eye and angular contours of the face, evoking a sense of intense reflection or prophecy, fitting for the title “LA SIBYLLE.” The background employs vertical strokes of ochre and muted purples, creating a textured yet serene aura. Cocteau’s signature and the date add a personal touch, affirming the creation’s authenticity and historical context. The overall composition blends elegance with a touch of modernist abstraction, characteristic of Cocteau’s unique artistic vision.
