Si Lewen

Untitled
c. 1950

A monochromatic artwork depicting a solitary figure walking from left to right against a dark, textured background that suggests a forest or a row of trees. The figure appears featureless and is rendered in white, contrasting with the dark backdrop. The image has a sketch-like quality with visible lines and strokes, and is bordered by a light-colored margin.
