"Elizabeth Seated Sewing" is a 1945 drawing by Franz Kline, known for his abstract expressionist paintings. The artwork features a gestural style and a bold black line that outlines the figure of Elizabeth seated in a chair. The composition is simple and centered, capturing a snapshot of a moment in time. Kline's use of ink on paper emphasizes the fluidity of movement and the artist's ability to evoke the human form through a minimal number of strokes.
