Man Driving an Animal

Italienische Grafik 1747–1775, c. 1747

Swirling, curved lines and shapes create an abstract scene. The arrangement of these shapes resembles an antelope or deer-like animal within a vortex-like setting. Vibrant red and earthy tones alongside greens and browns mimic colors found in nature, with plant forms in the center suggesting vegetation.
