This is a drawing of abstract line art and a photograph of a person on a street. The artwork consists of two parts: the upper section depicts an abstract composition using simple white lines against a black background. The lower section features a small, monochromatic photograph that includes a side view silhouette of a person standing beside a wall or structure, with some fluorescent outlines and markings over it. The image intertwines photography with illustrative or graphic design elements. The entire piece is presented on a dark paper, with the title and artist’s inscription written below in a clear handwritten style, indicating it as a prototype for a stereogram series by J. Baldessari in 1975.
