About this work

This painting shows four stick figures with long arms and legs. They are all drawn in black ink on a beige background. The figures are all different shapes and sizes, but they all have a similar style. The figures are all facing forward, but they are all looking in different directions. One of the figures has a big smile on its face. The figures are all very simple, but they are still interesting to look at. If you like this painting, you might also like the work of Alexander Calder.
