Petroglyph

Lala Eve Rivol

National Gallery of Art

The image consists of various abstract shapes and lines against a textured background. To the left, a central figure is composed of rectangular segments resembling a blocky humanoid form, with its limbs stretched out. Surrounding this figure are various shapes that hint at animal figures, similar to dogs or goats, depicted with simplistic lines. To its right, the image contains a series of abstract hand-like forms and wavy lines. In the lower-left corner, there is a circular target-like shape, while other irregular forms throughout the image may hint at rudimentary depictions of natural elements or creatures.
