This artwork for Theo van Doesburg. It present axonometric projection, it has the advantage of translating space in such a way that the changes of scale inevitable in linear perspective in- in the way that a thing in the distance appears smaller than a thing close at hand are -are eliminated. All lines remain parallel rather than receding to a common vanishing point and all sides of the object are at an angel to the picture plane.
