A style description of an image that implies the shape of a human figure but in a way that is not completely realistic.

The term is somewhat ambiguous because figurative has two meanings, one being a the figure depicted realistically and the other being the figure with abstract elements.

So the wording Abstract Figurative simply clarifies that the figure is not totally recognizable as a figure. However the suggestion of figure as subject is there.
