Composition with Figures

Paul Klee, 1915

This painting displays rectangular shapes of varied colors including shades of pink, red, brown, orange, yellow-green, and white. Paint has been applied unevenly in some of the sections, allowing spots of off-white paper to show through. Some of the colors also bleed into each other at the edges of the squares. At the bottom are two drawings resembling the outlines of human figures wearing hats. No faces are visible, suggesting the people are facing away from us. The person on the right appears to be on horseback, and the outline of the horse's head is facing the right. There are more lines drawn in other parts of the painting, but they are faint and make no discernable shapes.
