Skating
c. 1967–1972

A sketch on paper depicting a stylized figure of a person ice skating. The drawing is very fluid with long, sweeping lines suggesting movement and grace. The figure's hair and clothing appear to be flowing in the wind created by the motion of skating. The word "SKATING" ("LE SKATE") is handwritten at the bottom right corner, along with the initials J.C.
