Figures in a Yellow Room
1946

This image features an abstract artwork with two stylized figures against a vibrant yellow background. The figures appear to be rendered in a cubist style, with geometric shapes forming their bodies in shades of white, brown, and black. A greenish-blue hue forms the ground on which the figures stand, and the artwork is bordered by a black frame. Handwritten text and numbers can be seen at the bottom, suggesting a title and edition number of the piece. The artist's signature is visible on the bottom right.
