George Mueller

The Study
1955

An abstract painting featuring a large, dark brown or black central shape against a textured background of earthy, warm tones such as amber and ochre. The background has the appearance of weathered wood or aged paper, with some areas showing linear patterns and others more blotchy or faded. The central shape seems to be superimposed, with a smaller, lighter brown rectangle within it, creating a sense of depth and contrast.
