Untitled (Five nudes)
1946

A sketch on aged paper featuring a dynamic, abstract depiction of multiple figures with flowing lines and forms in blue pencil. Some figures appear to be dancing or in motion, with swirling shapes suggesting movement. There are handwritten notes and signatures at the bottom, along with a date indicating June 25, 1946. The edges of the paper include perforations, and there are small smudges of color, including a green mark near the top right corner.
