Table
1960

A charcoal drawing depicting a round table illuminated from above, casting a deep shadow beneath it. The table surface is textured, suggesting a rough material. The surrounding area is dark, with the bottom of the image showing expressive, sketchy strokes. The artwork has a raw, unfinished border with visible tape and artist's annotations at the bottom right corner.
