This painting shows a dark background filled with bold red shapes and outlines. The outlines trace two human figures, one standing and one crouching, with their arms raised. The red areas look thick and textured, almost like they were painted with a brush dipped deep in paint. The outlines are drawn in white, standing out sharply against the dark and red. The figures don’t have much detail inside the lines, making them look almost like cut-outs. Look up contour next to see how artists use lines to define shapes.
