This image depicts a sketch of a human brain, rendered in pencil and crayon on paper. The brain is centered in the composition, with its left side facing the viewer. The brain's surface is adorned with a vibrant array of colors, including red, blue, green, and yellow, which are applied in loose, expressive strokes. In the top-left corner of the page, a handwritten note is visible, although its contents are illegible. The background of the page is a warm, pale yellow hue. The artist's use of bold colors and loose brushstrokes imbues the image with a sense of energy and spontaneity. To explore more works by this artist, look up Robert Whitman.
