About this work

This sketch shows two bare figures standing close together inside a framed rectangle. The lines are loose and quick, with one person’s arm wrapped around the other’s back. The paper has a warm, peachy tone, and there’s a faint grid behind the figures. The drawing’s title, *Abstraction - Figuration*, hints at a mix of simple shapes and real forms. The artist’s notes at the bottom suggest these were practice studies, likely for a larger work. Next, check out Mylona, Alex (1920-2016) for more of their sketches.
