About Undertaker

The artwork, titled “Undertaker,” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1913. Rendered in pencil on paper, it is a sketch representative of the Constructivism art movement. The piece measures 27 by 21 centimeters and is housed at the St. Petersburg State Museum of Theater and Music in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The artwork showcases a geometric and somewhat abstract figure composed predominantly of simplistic shapes. The figure features a square torso, rectangular arms with red accents, and a skirt-like lower body divided symmetrically into black and white sections. The head is depicted with minimal details, topped with a red hat, and includes blue shades covering the eyes. The overall style is characterized by sharp lines and a constructivist approach, reflecting the avant-garde aesthetics of the early 20th century.
