Petroglyph - Human Figures

Lala Eve Rivol

National Gallery of Art

The image is structured into three sections of abstract shapes and lines that blend into a textured composition. In the upper right, there is a large dark figure with outstretched limbs and a circular pattern, accompanied by a smaller figure. In the upper left, there are sweeping red lines forming what appears to be wings, with a smaller figure below. Below these sections, a white-outlined figure is shown with arms uplifted in a shape resembling antlers against a dark background. Next to this is a pattern of dark triangular shapes on a light background, with a small red figure nearby. These components come together to create an abstract scene.
