River Reflection
1954

An abstract painting with a textured appearance, featuring a dark palette with shades of brown, gray, and black, and subtle hints of red. The composition is divided by a vertical band of golden brown, intersecting with a horizontal band of dark gray that shows signs of wear or distress. The lower half of the artwork has vertical streaks of color that resemble reflections or shadows. The paper's edges are rough and uneven, adding to the artwork's rustic and aged feel.
