Willem de Kooning

Figures with Bicycle
c. 1969

Sketch on paper featuring a series of overlapping, abstract figures with discernible human-like forms and body parts, drawn with loose, expressive lines. Some figures appear seated, while others are ambiguous. The artwork is rendered primarily in pencil, with faint smudges and a few small, yellowish stains on the paper.
