About this work

This sketch shows a simple, uneven drawing of a house with a slanted roof. Inside, there’s a rough outline of furniture—maybe a bed or chairs—and a wobbly ground line. The whole thing is drawn in black marker on yellow graph paper, looking like a quick, messy idea. The words below say it’s a "project for the construction of a house," so this might be a rough plan for a real building. The date and artist’s name are scrawled in the corner. Check out Niki de Saint Phalle to see more of her bold, playful work.
