Five Heads

Elihu Vedder

National Gallery of Art

The image contains five rectangular shapes with intricate swirling lines and curves, creating abstract facial forms. The designs resemble stylized faces with features like eyes, mustaches, and hair patterns, reminiscent of decorative masks or gargoyles. The shapes are set within frames with distinct rounded or angular edges that enhance their abstract quality.
