Work Description:
|
A male figure sits at the center of the composition and holds a female figure in his lap. The female figure's head is bowed towards her right so that her golden hair falls behind her and down over her head and face. Both forms are abstracted, and their bodies merge with one another and the space around them, creating a jumbled mass of shapes and colors. A gray background surrounds them, and a reddish orb rises behind the male figure's head at top center.
