Monument Study
1986

A red ink illustration on a white background depicting two figures in vintage diving suits, with one lying on the ground and the other standing and holding a hammer next to a tripod. The scene includes a whimsical arrangement of gears, pipes, and mechanical elements, suggesting a surreal or steampunk theme. There are a few isolated red ink splatters near the bottom left corner of the image.
