Seated Woman c. 1946

"Seated Woman" is an ink drawing by Franz Kline, created around 1946. The artwork depicts a simplified figure of a woman in a seated position, outlined in bold black strokes against a plain background. The figure is rendered with gestural lines, giving the impression of movement and dynamism. This piece exemplifies Kline's early exploration of abstract expressionism, which he would later further develop in his iconic black and white paintings.
