Medley
1950–1951

Oil painting depicting a surreal assemblage of mechanical parts and objects, including gears, a lever, and a vertical rod, arranged in a tower-like structure on a ledge. A lemon, a blue marble, a green marble, and a dark, textured object resembling a stone are also placed on the ledge. The background is a muted, dark greenish-brown, and the artist's signature is visible in the upper right corner.
