National Gallery of Art

The image showcases an abstract composition with swirling and cross-hatched lines creating a dense texture. Some shapes hint at a human face with a possible hat or headdress, along with a feather-like silhouette. The lines suggest a voluminous beard or mane around the figure, evoking the image of a person draped in a textured costume.
