Petroglyph Design

Lala Eve Rivol

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts four rectangular sections, each containing an abstract figure. In the top left rectangle is a shape resembling a stick figure with exaggerated limbs and horn-like protrusions. The top right rectangle shows an abstract form that vaguely suggests a dancer or a windmill with a circular head and radiating limbs. The bottom left section portrays a figure that looks like a standing figure with arms raised. The bottom right rectangle shows a dynamic, abstract figure with a rounded body and limbs extended outward. Each figure is depicted in an earthy, reddish hue against a neutral, cross-hatched background.
