Title not known (Hassan Al Said 10)

Composition with dark outer area and black markings throughout

This abstraction, by Shakir Hassan Al Said, is framed with a dark outer half-circle that transitions into the central light blue portion of the composition. This center section is dotted with black markings. While some resemble lettering, other more representational forms stand out: a roundel face with eyes and nose and hand with a singular eye in the palm. A small grid can also be seen towards the bottom of the composition.
