Etampes 1974

Elaine de Kooning's "Etampes" is a watercolor on paper from 1974. The work features a loose, gestural style with sweeping lines of black ink and watercolor washes. De Kooning's abstract landscape evokes a sense of movement and energy, possibly referencing her travels to France or a specific place. This painting exemplifies de Kooning's interest in capturing the essence of a place through abstract means, a stylistic signature of the Abstract Expressionist movement.
