A study on the theme of ‘Pelléas et Méllissande’. A female figure, her face hidden by a long veil, dances, twirls, and runs on the shore. She leaps on rocks along the edge of the sea, her veil wafting behind her.

“An atypical work for the naturalistically inclined Cuvelier, this highly Romantic image of two people sitting below the skeletons of burned pine trees and looking into the featureless distance like the contemplative figures in the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, was no doubt a response to the startling sight of the charred landscape.” [quoted from The Met]
“Life is merely a fracas on an unmapped terrain, and the universe a geometry stricken with epilepsy”
― Emil Cioran; A Short History of Decay (1949)
