Study for Solitude #56
1944

A charcoal sketch depicting a rural scene with a road leading towards a small house on the right, flanked by tall trees bending in the wind. The sky is filled with expressive, swirling clouds, suggesting a windy atmosphere. The drawing is monochromatic with a focus on light and shadow to create depth. There are signatures at the bottom right corner.
