Figure in Glass

Arthur B. Davies

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an abstract composition of angular lines and sharp shapes that creates the outline of a seated human figure. The artwork resembles the style of cubist art with intersecting lines and overlapping planes. The figure's face and limbs are suggested through the arrangement of shapes, giving the impression of fragmented light on a surface or a puzzle.
