Petroglyph - Human Figures

Lala Eve Rivol

National Gallery of Art

The image features curving lines and rounded forms creating a central abstract scene. Two humanoid shapes with elongated arms are in the center, enclosed by a structure resembling a chariot or vessel. The structure is supported by red, rib-like extensions, suggesting a skeletal framework. Above the figures, two crisscrossing lines evoke arrows or spears, with patches of color scattered throughout. The composition is surrounded by a background of dark, streaked lines.
