E.E. Cummings

Untitled (Man Seated, Elbow Resting on Table)
1920s

A minimalist line drawing on aged paper depicting a seated figure with a slouched posture, possibly deep in thought or asleep. The figure's features are lightly sketched, with more emphasis on the outline of the body and clothing. There is a hint of a cane or umbrella to the left of the figure.
