Measuring 48.58 by 63.18 centimeters, this piece falls under the Surrealism art movement and is categorized as a sketch and study. Currently, the artwork resides in a private collection.

The artwork features an array of abstract forms and surreal compositions, characteristic of Gorky’s work. The interplay of graphite, oil, and pastel creates a nuanced texture and depth, with a predominance of delicate lines and occasional bursts of color. This intricate yet meditative piece showcases fluid shapes that appear to float and interweave within the canvas, contributing to an ethereal and contemplative visual experience. The central area is marked by a notable red patch, which introduces a vivid contrast against the softer tones and subtly guides the viewer’s focus, encapsulating the Surrealist essence of transforming reality through dreamlike abstraction.
