The image shows a series of irregular and curving lines weaving across the canvas to create an abstract composition filled with intricate details. The swirling patterns suggest various objects, such as figures, faces, animals, and mythical creatures. The design consists of dense, dark areas and dispersed white spaces. The lines convey motion and energy, while sharp angles form exaggerated outlines, resembling limbs or extensions. — Lee Hang Sung, Sitting without Seat, 1961, color woodcut, Rosenwald Collection, 1964.8.1585
