This print is mostly black with thin, uneven stripes of blue, yellow, and gray stacked in a rough oval shape. The colors are soft, like faded chalk, and the lines don’t quite meet up neatly. A few vertical lines cut through the middle, breaking the pattern. The way the stripes overlap gives it a textured, almost woven look. It’s made using a screenprint, which explains why the colors look slightly smudged. If you like this style, look up Adolf Richard Fleischmann for more of his work.
