Roy Lichtenstein

Mural with Blue Brushstroke (Study)
c. 1985

A colorful, abstract drawing featuring a variety of shapes and patterns. The central focus is a door with a "KNOCK! KNOCK!" speech bubble. Above the door, a large hand appears to be reaching out or knocking. The composition includes elements of water-like waves, geometric shapes, and a sun motif at the top. The artwork is created with pencil and crayon, and the grid lines of the paper are visible, indicating it's a work in progress or a draft.
