My Second
1935

A worn, aged piece of paper with a variety of abstract and primitive drawings in black ink, featuring geometric shapes, zigzag patterns, and stick figures. Some elements resemble animals and human figures, while others are more cryptic symbols. The artwork has a fold down the center and is bordered by rounded corners, with handwritten text at the bottom that reads "my second 1935 mural".
