About this work

This sketch shows four squares arranged in two rows. Each square has three faint pencil lines inside, making smaller squares. The lines are light and sketchy, like a quick draft. The top two squares are labeled "St. Agnes," and the bottom two are labeled "St. Lucia." The labels might hint at something religious, but the drawing itself is simple and abstract. The pencil lines are loose, not precise, giving it a rough, unfinished look. If you like this style, look up Frank Stella next.
