The artwork, titled “Abstracted cityscape from sketchbook 130,” by Theo van Doesburg, is a pencil sketch on paper representing the Abstract Art movement. Measuring 12 x 19 cm, this piece falls within the genre of sketch and study, capturing a cityscape through abstract lines and forms.
The artwork exhibits a collection of geometric shapes and lines that suggest the outlines of buildings and urban structures. The freehand pencil strokes create a dynamic and fragmented portrayal of the city, with intersecting lines and varying intensities of shading to convey depth and structure. The composition lacks precise details, embracing the abstract style by focusing on the essences rather than the exact representations of the city elements. Despite its simplicity, the sketch evokes a sense of urban complexity and movement.
