"Tableau No. 2, 1925 (Mondrian)" depicts a whimsical scene where a figure in white coveralls splattered with various colors stands on a ladder, painting a geometric pattern on a canvas. The pattern includes bold blocks of primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—separated by thick, black lines, paying tribute to Piet Mondrian's painting of the same name. The figure holds a paintroll, engaged in adding a black section to the grid. At the bottom of the scene, several paint cans and brushes are placed, showcasing the ongoing process of creation. The overall composition merges a three-dimensional sculptural element with a flat, two-dimensional painted surface, adding depth and narrative to the piece.
