Three Seated Figures c. 1942

"Three Seated Figures" (c. 1942) is a sketch by American Abstract Expressionist artist Franz Kline. It's a delicate ink drawing on paper, showcasing Kline's early stylistic development. His signature gestural strokes and dynamic lines are evident, even in this preliminary work, foreshadowing his later iconic black and white paintings. This piece, along with his other works, is a testament to his exploration of figure and form, reflecting the influential artistic trends of the time.
