This is a black page with white handwritten text. The words are uneven, some letters bigger than others, like they were scribbled fast. There’s a small yellow square with the number *1934* in the top right corner. At the bottom, someone signed *"Moret-sur-Loing"* in a different hand.
The poem talks about shadows, snow, and light in a way that feels dreamy. It’s not clear who wrote it, but it’s paired with the artist’s name at the bottom.
