A black and white abstract etching with dynamic, curvilinear shapes and lines on a textured background. The artwork is signed by the artist in the lower left and right corners, with the edition number and the year '53 noted on the right. The paper has a rough edge, suggesting it may be handcrafted or torn from a larger sheet.
