Two Figures is a 1970 by William Johnstone, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows two tall, shadowy shapes standing close together. One figure is lighter, almost gray, while the other is darker, almost black. Above them floats a small, round shape that looks like a face or a mask. The artist used simple ink strokes to create these shapes, leaving the paper mostly blank. The figures feel weightless, like they’re barely touching the ground. If you like this style, check out more works by William Johnstone.
