Associated Names
John Flaxman

Artist, British, 1755 - 1826

The image shows abstract lines and shapes drawn in dark ink on a light background. Two sets of lines form rudimentary human figures with a round shape at the top resembling a head, and lines extending downwards suggesting a seated body. The figures are abstract and minimalistic, connecting to familiar symbols of the human form through curves and loops that suggest arms, legs, and torsos in a simplistic manner. The area surrounding these shapes is left blank.
