Number 6 from "Thoughts about a Sculpture"
1961

An etching on beige paper depicting a dark, roughly sketched figure that appears to be a knight in armor, with a horse in the background. The style is expressive and abstract, with strong lines and some areas of cross-hatching, giving the image a dynamic and somewhat chaotic feel. There are splatters and marks around the edges of the image, suggesting an artistic process. The bottom left corner has a fraction (1/10), indicating this might be part of a limited print series, and the bottom right corner contains a signature.
