Artist, Russian, 1887 - 1985

The image shows soft, curving lines and scattered dots forming an abstract depiction of two figures. The figures appear intertwined. Above them, there are green, blue, and yellow colors with small black dots and marks. These resemble a burst of foliage or a cascade of birds taking flight. The shapes suggest a lush canopy or a colorful sky, inviting the viewer to recognize familiar patterns within the forms.
