About this work

This is a light beige paper with squiggly lines in red, blue, and black. The lines twist and overlap in the lower half, like tangled roots or a messy sketch. At the top, there’s a small handwritten signature: "H. af K." The drawing looks unfinished—almost like a doodle someone left behind. But it’s part of a set of 46 similar works, made late in the artist’s life. If you like this, check out Hilma af Klint.
