Em prontidão by Paul Klee, 1931

Paul Klee's 'In Readiness' captures a reclining figure through delicate, flowing pencil lines that seem to dance across the paper. The abstract form stretches horizontally with graceful curves suggesting both relaxation and coiled energy—like a spring ready to uncoil. Klee, who was also a talented violinist, often infused his visual art with musical rhythm, and you can almost hear the tempo in these sweeping lines. The minimal shading and almost wire-like quality give the figure an ethereal, dreamlike presence that's quintessentially Klee.
