Stone No 1 is a 1950 by J Belohorsky, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows two pale figures standing on a brown shape against a dark background. The taller one has long hair and raised arms, while the smaller one leans against them. A yellow circle floats above their heads, and the whole scene looks simple but striking. The artist used flat colors and bold outlines, making the figures stand out sharply. The brown shape looks like a rock or hill, grounding the scene. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and shadow for drama.
The artwork titled *Stone No 1* by J. Belohorsky, created in 1950, depicts a full-length nude female figure facing right, with long fair hair and hands bent above the head while throwing a ball. The figure is set against a brown background and enclosed within a dark brown, irregular frame. The print is signed by the artist with a red and white monogram, and it entered the museum as part of the Cyril Beaumont Bequest.

J Belohorsky made stark, mid-20th-century prints that feel like silent stories in black and white.
