A modern abstract sculpture resembling a hollowed, egg-shaped form, partially sliced open to reveal an interior painted sky blue. Inside, a series of taut red strings radiate from a single point at the base toward the open edge, creating a geometric fan-like pattern. The sculpture rests on a white plinth against a neutral grey background.
Sculpture with Colour (Oval Form) Pale Blue and Red (1943)
