Dusk
1955

This is an abstract painting with a blend of dark and warm colors, featuring a central tree-like form with a bright, sun-like circle behind it. The foreground is dominated by vivid orange and red tones, while the background is a mix of grays, blues, and muted earthy colors. The brushwork is loose and expressive, with visible signatures and the date '55 in the lower left corner.
