About The Possibly Mischievous (in French)

Three linear references to human figures, surrounding what may be a deer in a forest setting.

Daffon's use of continuous line where the pen is not lifted from the paper is what makes this composition so impressives with respect to the larger elements. 

Surrealists at times chose to employ automatic drawing.

About Andre Daffon
This twentieth century French surrealist artist had an affinity to active linear compositions.
