The School of Night I (XLII)
2012–2013

A textured monochrome drawing featuring abstract human figures and swirling patterns that converge towards a central vortex-like shape. The figures appear to be sketched with dynamic, expressive lines, creating a sense of movement around the focal point. The artwork has a rough, unfinished edge, suggesting it may be part of a larger piece or a work in progress.
