Solutions

1. Pass exactly 3 or 4 points to the bezier drawing callable so the curve can be constructed
2. Ensure every point is an Intervention\Image\Geometry\Point with numeric x and y coordinates
3. Check the ImagickDraw path functions (pathCurveToQuadraticBezier/pathCurveTo) are available in the installed imagick version
