Passing of Dreams

Arthur B. Davies

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of abstract forms and figures. The drawing features several abstractly depicted forms that resemble human figures, sketched lightly with fluid and delicate lines. The figures seem to be intertwined with nature, blending into a backdrop of trees and foliage, rendered with an impressionistic approach using soft, gestural strokes. The use of negative space gives the composition a sense of openness and lightness.
