About Esquisse

“Esquisse,” created by Richard Hamilton in 1972, is a genre painting.

The artwork portrays a simplified and sketch-like illustration of a person kneeling down. The figure is depicted with subtle use of colors, mostly consisting of gentle pastel tones interspersed with dark sketch lines. This individual is shown wearing a hat and appears to be leaning forward, possibly engaging in an outdoor activity. The background of the artwork is abstract, with sparse line work giving a sense of texture and environment without detailed representation. The minimalist approach emphasizes the form and posture of the subject, creating an evocative and contemplative scene. The title and artist’s signature are present at the bottom of the piece.
