L'Abbatoire III
c. 1950–1960s

This is an abstract print with a vibrant blue background and a complex, intertwined pattern of shapes and lines in shades of brown, white, and pink. The shapes appear organic and somewhat chaotic, with no clear subject or form immediately discernible. The print is bordered by a cream-colored margin and there are two red seals or stamps in the bottom right corner.
