Figure Sketches

Gabriel Jacques de Saint-Aubin

National Gallery of Art

This abstract composition features flowing, curved lines and soft, blurred shapes that create figures and profiles. On the right, a sinuous, reclining figure with red and orange contouring resembles a human form. To the left, a sketched blue outline of a smaller figure is present, along with two abstract shapes above it.
