Man and Woman Walking on Street - Woman in Front
1960

A simplistic pencil drawing on off-white paper featuring two stylized figures facing each other. On the left, a figure with a large, curly hairstyle and a long dress, and on the right, a figure wearing a cap and a striped shirt. There are also small, sketchy objects scattered around the figures, including what appears to be a bone, a safety pin, and a screw. The drawing is signed and dated in the bottom right corner.
