Artist, Guatemalan, 1891 - 1984

The image displays a series of curving and straight lines forming two elongated, arched figures with abstract shapes. These shapes intersect with bold black smudges for texture and depth. The lines and forms resemble stylized human figures bending and connected at the ends. Two darker circular forms are present, one in the upper center and another in the lower section. The composition is abstract, encouraging viewers to perceive familiar patterns or forms within the artwork.
