A dynamic and expressive pencil drawing on cardboard, this study captures the human figure with de Kooning's characteristic gestural energy and restless line work. The seated woman emerges from a tangle of bold, searching marks that simultaneously construct and deconstruct her form, reflecting the artist's Abstract Expressionist sensibility. The work offers an intimate glimpse into de Kooning's creative process, revealing how he wrestled with the tension between figuration and abstraction.
