Nude Figure with American Flag - "ABC HOORAY"
1960

Illustration of a stylized, cartoon-like female figure in a dynamic pose with arms and legs outstretched. She has yellow hair and is wearing socks and shoes. The background includes abstract representations of the letters "A" and "B" to her right, and a series of indistinct yellow shapes at her feet that resemble letters or symbols. The drawing is done with loose, expressive lines and watercolor accents.
