Associated Artworks

The image consists of two stylized, minimalist ink drawings of individuals in period attire. The top drawing depicts a person shown from the waist up, facing to the side, with a faint suggestion of an arm position and a robe-like garment that flows downward. The bottom drawing features a person, also depicted with minimal lines, shown seated or in a resting pose, with their body and face in profile. They wear a hood or hat that partially obscures their face. Both figures are surrounded by a plain background with a beige tone. The initials "a. m." are located at the bottom left of the drawing.
