Work Description: 
A seated, nude, abstracted figure is seen from the back. The figure is composed of black lines of various widths. The composition's top left corner and left edge are filled with a powdery blue pigment, which is highlighted by a sketchy white line wrapping around the figure's shoulder. Yellow is seen at the top right edge, just the right of the figure's head. The rest of the composition has been left unpainted.
