Dancers by the Clock
1948–1949

A vibrant and colorful painting featuring a surreal gathering of various stylized figures, including a woman in a red dress with a transparent shawl, a man playing a trombone, and multiple faces with different expressions in a party-like atmosphere. Some figures wear party hats, and the background includes abstract elements and a clock, suggesting a festive or celebratory event. The artwork is signed by the artist in the bottom right corner.
