Girl Whistling
1945–1946

A black and white abstract print featuring a complex arrangement of interlocking shapes and patterns that resemble various organic and geometric forms. The composition is dense with detail, creating a tapestry-like effect with elements that suggest eyes, faces, and totemic figures. The artwork is centered on a light-colored paper with a natural, uneven upper edge, suggesting it may be a print or drawing on high-quality stock.
