This drawing, dated 1926, reflects the continued evolution of Cubist abstraction in the post–Analytic period, when fragmented forms were increasingly distilled into rhythmic, calligraphic line. Executed with confident, economical strokes, the composition assembles angular planes, curvilinear elements, and overlapping geometric shapes into a vertically oriented structure that suggests a stylized figure or architectural assemblage.

The work demonstrates a mature Cubist vocabulary: flattened spatial relationships, shifting perspectives, and the reduction of representational elements into symbolic components. The emphasis on contour and negative space aligns with mid-1920s explorations of synthetic construction, where clarity of form and compositional balance replaced the dense fragmentation of earlier Cubism.
