Tulips
1934

A sepia-toned sketch of a bouquet of tulips in a vase, with the flowers prominently displayed and occupying the upper half of the composition. The drawing is executed with soft shading and contour lines, giving it a three-dimensional appearance. The background features abstract shapes and lines, suggesting a tabletop or flat surface. The artist's signature and the year '87 are visible in the lower left corner. The paper has slightly frayed edges, adding to the artwork's vintage feel.
