Executed in 1969 shortly before the birth of Moscow Conceptualism of which Kabakov was the leading exponent, this abstract drawing borrows motifs from the Suprematists of the first avant-garde but arranged in a way that resembles a room plan, prefiguring the artist's domestic interior scenes and later large-scale installations.
