    • Artwork

      The image shows three figures closely positioned together. Two larger figures lean towards each other, with their heads almost touching, and a smaller figure lies down with a head resting on its arms. The facial features and hair are not distinctly detailed. The figures wear loose, flowing garments, with one draped in brownish hues. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is a blend of muted earth tones, with a faint rectangular shape hinting at a window in the upper left. The scene has a subdued and contemplative atmosphere.

      Monotype  Accession ID  2008.115.2488

      Not on view

    • Artwork

      This is a drawing of a humanoid figure next to a seated female figure. The humanoid figure is robust and muscular, crouched with exaggerated features and a somber expression. The seated female figure is partially covered with drapery, gently holding the creature's long hair. The background is shadowy and indistinct. The earth tones and soft shading create a poignant and melancholic mood.

    • Artwork

      This is a drawing of shadowy figures in an urban setting. The scene shows contrasting light and shadow. A silhouette stands under a structure with a wooden beam and stairs visible to the right. The background features a cityscape with tall buildings and lamp posts against a cloudy sky. The drawing uses dark shading and cross-hatching, creating a somber, mysterious mood. It captures a sense of loneliness in a busy city.
