Whimsical offset lithograph by celebrated artist Saul Steinberg, depicting the numeral “5” as a surreal pantry-like structure. An anthropomorphic animal figure opens a small door at the top of the numeral, revealing two apples and three pears within. Set against a softly blended watercolor-style sky and grassy landscape, the work captures Steinberg’s distinctive fusion of architectural imagination, visual wit, and poetic absurdity.
Originally published in 1969 and later featured in Derrière le Miroir, this playful composition reflects Steinberg’s celebrated ability to blur the boundaries between fine art, illustration, and cartoon.
