F-24
1966

A sketch of three abstract figures with exaggerated features and dynamic poses. The figure on the left appears to be pouring a green liquid from a bottle into a yellow container held by the central figure, who is intertwined with the third figure on the right. The artwork features loose lines and minimal color, with a focus on movement and interaction between the characters.
