About this work

This image presents a lithograph featuring a figure with a long neck and head, reminiscent of a bird or insect. The figure's body is rendered in dark red and black, with a lighter red background. A white streak runs across the top of the image. The figure's elongated neck and head are notable features, evoking a sense of otherworldliness. The use of dark red and black creates a striking contrast with the lighter red background. This lithograph is a unique example of Reg Butler's work, and fans of his style may also appreciate the technique of lithography.
