Six Toothbrushes, Number 1
1962

A minimalist drawing featuring a horizontal line with six toothbrushes hanging below it, each with a different degree of detail and color. Two toothbrushes are more fully colored in pink and blue, while the others are lightly sketched. Above the toothbrushes, the text "Toothbrushes" is written with an arrow pointing down to them. At the bottom of the image, there is a handwritten inscription that appears to be the title of the piece and the artist's signature with the year 1962. The background is plain white.
