Story

A dark circle marked with three nested rings sits above a slender ornamental stem, resting on a triangular base split between red and black. The shapes stack together with careful geometry, suggesting a kind of symbolic structure rather than any recognizable object. The piece was made with oil and metal leaf on canvas in 1915. It belongs to the abstract art pursued by Hilma af Klint, a Swedish painter (1862–1944).
