story of the work:

There appears to be a confusion in the attribution and details provided, as Jacques Villon, born Gaston Duchamp, was a French painter and printmaker active from 1875 to 1963, but there is no widely recognized painting titled "Globes" attributed to him. Jacques Villon is known for his contributions to Cubism and his involvement with the Puteaux Group, and any specific work should be verified through credible art historical sources or museum collections.

Description of the work:

"Globes" by Jacques Gaston Duchamp Villon is an etching and drypoint work on ivory laid paper, characterized by its intricate linear detail and subtle textural contrasts. The composition features a series of overlapping spherical forms, rendered with precision, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that emphasizes the geometric abstraction inherent in the piece.
