Artist, Dutch, 1924 - 2005

The image shows a series of vertical lines and shapes creating an abstract composition. On the left, there is an irregular, roughly humanoid-shaped figure with sketched lines, similar to a stick figure, incorporating rough-textured shading. To its right, a set of vertical stripes in alternating shades of brown and white is intersected by swirling and crossing lines. The lines and shapes evoke objects like a fence or bars, with scribbled text and symbols. Handwritten letters and numbers are integrated into the design, adding to its enigmatic, diagrammatic quality.
