Contrasted Circular Forms with Pair of Optical Black Dots
1923

This is a photograph of an abstract composition featuring geometric shapes and textures. A large, translucent circle overlaps with a textured grid pattern and a smaller solid circle. Dark, shadowy forms and light reflections add depth to the image. The artist's signature and the year 1923 are visible at the bottom.
