Reclining Figure #1
1955

A minimalist black and white line drawing of a reclining, abstract human figure with no detailed facial features, on a plain background. The figure's limbs are extended, and the style is fluid and simplistic. There are handwritten inscriptions at the bottom of the artwork.
