The composition concentrates several elements characteristic of Lurçat's graphic style: sharply defined plant forms, powerful black contrasts, and a warm palette dominated by earth tones and oranges.
This color linocut reproduces the motif used for the poster of the Casino de Saint-Céré Art Gallery, where Jean Lurçat's tapestries, lithographs, and ceramics were permanently exhibited. It can be dated to around 1960–1962.
Jean Lurçat's stylized signature is printed in the plate.
