About this work

This sheet shows four small circles and one big one, all drawn in pencil and watercolor. The small circles have lines inside—some dashed, some dotted, in red, blue, and black. Two are labeled with German words: *"Widerstand Ungeduld"* (resistance, impatience) and *"Gehorsam Geduld"* (obedience, patience). The big circle in the middle is faint, with overlapping lines that look like they’re shifting. The date in the corner says April 8, 1920. These sketches were part of a set of 46 drawings made by the artist. Next, check out Hilma af Klint.
