This image features a collection of sketches with various figures and text annotations. In the center, there's a prominent sketch of a person with their arms raised, one hand holding onto what appears to be a leg from another figure above, which is not fully visible. To the left, a sketch of a figure wearing a hat is seen, and below it, text reads "Squeel like a pig." On the right side, there's a sketch of a person's head with the text "oink oink" next to it. Below, there are two smaller sketches: one of a figure in a uniform with the text "I want some of that action," and another of a smaller figure with arms raised and the text "take me" beside it. The bottom of the image includes text indicating that this is Nicole Eisenman's 1995 screenprint No. 16 in an edition of 75, created to benefit Exit Art / The First World. The overall composition has a raw, expressive quality, and the annotations add a narrative element to the artwork.
This image features an artwork with a combination of text and illustration.
