Sarai Sherman

Mezzadro
1954

A painting featuring abstract figures with muted colors, predominantly in shades of beige, pink, and yellow. The figure on the left appears to be bending over an object, while the figure on the right stands upright, facing forward with a mask-like face. The background is indistinct, blending with the figures in a dreamlike composition.
