Man Genuflecting
1956

A detailed pencil sketch on tan paper depicting an abstract, skeletal-like figure with elongated limbs and bulbous joints, reminiscent of a distorted human form. The drawing is finely detailed, with delicate shading and intricate lines suggesting both fragility and movement. The artist's signature and a date are visible at the bottom right corner.
