Untitled (Table Study)

A sketch on a cream-colored paper depicting a whimsical architectural scene with a tilted, multi-story building at the corner of an enclosed area with fences. The building is supported by ropes tied to the ground, and there are various objects and vehicles scattered around, including a car turned upside down. The drawing includes some Chinese characters at the top left corner and is signed and dated at the bottom left.
