Study for Gas
1940

Pencil sketch on paper depicting three abstract figures with round heads and cylindrical bodies, standing on a platform with indistinct background shading. Each figure has a simple line for arms and stands under a thin, pole-like structure topped with a flat disc, resembling a street lamp or umbrella. The drawing has a rough, sketchy quality with visible shading and strokes.
