Cherry Twice
1946

A detailed painting depicting two figures, one overlaid on the other. The foreground shows a seated man with a mustache, wearing a blue vest and green pants, holding a pencil and sketchbook. Behind him, a larger, more abstract figure appears to be in motion, with its hands covering its face. The background is filled with geometric shapes, patterns, and various objects that blend into a complex, cubist-style composition. The colors are rich and earthy, with a mix of warm and cool tones. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom.
