Diptych "The Model"
1967

A black and white artwork featuring abstract silhouettes of two human figures. The figure on the left is a side view of a person's torso and legs, while the figure on the right appears to be a profile of a seated pregnant woman. Both figures are devoid of detailed features and are set against a plain background. There are signatures or inscriptions at the bottom corners of the piece.
