Apparition

Arthur B. Davies

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two abstract figures. The first figure is seated with the upper body leaning back and the head turned to the left. The face has faint features and long dark hair. The second figure is positioned above and to the right, with similar features and possibly raising an arm. Both figures appear nude or minimally clothed. The background consists of etched lines and shades, providing a textured appearance. A signature at the bottom indicates the artist.
