George Biddle · 1933 · pen and black ink over graphite on wove paper ·  Accession ID  2015.143.84

The image shows two figures sitting on a natural surface with various abstract and natural elements surrounding them. The figure on the left is seated with one knee drawn up and their head resting on their hand, while the figure on the right is in a crouching position with arms wrapped around their body. Both figures have exaggerated facial features with large eyes and elongated faces; the figure on the left has short, spiky hair, while the right has longer and messier hair. Their clothing seems minimal, blending in with their textured bodies. The background is a simple tan color with subtle shading for depth and texture.
