Weasels at Play

Franz Marc

National Gallery of Art

This painting presents a series of curved and bending lines intersecting with each other in an abstract pattern. The lines create a design resembling tree branches and leafy canopies. The background displays a mix of blue, yellow, and pink colors. At the base of the trees there are two red shapes that could be compared to small animals or creatures amidst the abstract landscape; one of them perches in a tree, while the other is on the ground, looking up.
