Oil and pencil portrait on canvas by Tennessee Williams depicting Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud. 'Le Coeur Volé' (The Stolen Heart) is a version of a poem by Rimbaud that exists in a better-known version called 'Le Coeur Supplicié' (The Tortured Heart). Williams was influenced by the writings of Rimbaud, and often made allusions to the latter's poetry in his own writing. Here, Williams calls him 'Coeur Violée', or The Violated Heart.Type of Painting
