Federico Castellón

Dressed Figure in Landscape
1936

A surreal black and white illustration depicting a stylized woman with exaggerated proportions wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a dress with a ruffled neckline. She stands beside a small table with abstract objects, and behind her is a sculpture resembling a hand holding a flame, all set against a barren landscape with mountains in the distance. The artwork has a signature at the bottom left corner.
