About this work

This painting shows a tall, slanted wall covered in tiny, repeating red-and-brown squares. At the bottom, a few small figures stand on a sidewalk, looking up. The wall looks like a building under construction or a grid of small windows. The colors are mostly muted, with a few darker shadows on the ground. The artist used a mix of watercolor, pencil, and oil to create this strange, orderly pattern. The tiny figures add a sense of scale, making the wall seem huge.
