- Artist
- Saul Steinberg, (American, born Romania, 1914–1999)
- Description
- Fantastic scene enclosed by a rectangle with some meander ornamentation at bottom. In lower right corner, two figures face each other, one seated, one standing. Between them float abstract, linear motifs in beige and black. Stepped patterns surround, evocative of a carpet border. At left, a futuristic building with sharp angles. Above, an orb hangs in the sky, shaded at edges to suggest volume. Throughout the scene are lines of an elegant and curvaceous calligraphy, though the words themselves are illegible. Featured colors are black, beige, and blue.
