About this work

This sketch looks like a quick, messy drawing in bright colors. There’s a blue circle with a green blob inside it, and red and green splotches around it. The lines are rough, almost like scribbles, with black marks adding texture. The artist signed it in the corner—just a small "E. Mathiesen" and the year "46." It’s part of a set of five prints, so it’s not meant to be a finished painting. If you like this loose, colorful style, check out lithography—the printing technique used here.
