This drawing shows three simple shapes on light paper. There’s a tall, blocky form with straight lines, a flat shape that looks like a folded cloth, and a low, stacked shape with wavy lines on top. The lines are drawn in red and gray, with some shading on the bottom shape. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes—no details, just basic outlines. The paper has a few faint marks and a small red stain in the corner. If you like this, check out Ulrich Rückriem.
