Artist, Russian, 1866 - 1944

The image shows a collection of shapes and lines, primarily squares and rectangles interspersed with curving black lines and scattered dots. The abstract composition includes various grid-like patterns resembling windows or urban buildings, while swirling lines and circles evoke movement. Patches of red, yellow, and teal appear sporadically, adding contrast to the mainly black and white design.
