Roy Lichtenstein

Mural with Blue Brushstroke (Study)
c. 1985

A black and white sketch of an abstract composition featuring various geometric and organic shapes. A central figure appears to be holding a circular object above a patterned box, with wavy lines suggesting movement or energy. The bottom right corner includes a door with the words "KNOCK KNOCK" prominently displayed, adding a whimsical or narrative element to the piece. The drawing is on grid paper, with some grid lines visible, indicating the planning stage of the artwork.
