Peter Krasnow

Moon Ritual
1928

A sketch on tan paper featuring a stylized man and woman sitting closely together, with the man's arm around the woman. The woman is nude from the waist up and is holding her chin with her hand. To the right, atop a rocky outcrop, a group of four small figures in black suits appear to be singing or shouting, with a bird flying above them. The drawing has a surreal, dreamlike quality.
