The harmonious curves forming the borders and the dotted backgrounds contribute to a tapestry-like texture, emphasizing the artisanal quality of the piece. Lucien’s attention to detail and his delicate handling of the woodcut technique are evident in the gentle outlines of the figure and the flowing lines that seem to mimic the natural curves found in nature."Meisje met Narcissen" not only captures the innocence and serenity of its subject but also embodies the artist’s exploration of graphic design and illustration.
