The story of this work

Overview

Drawing composed of three sheets: a rough, buff-colored backing sheet, overlaid with a sheet of ruled paper containing handwriting, overlaid with a slightly smaller sheet of yellowish semi-transparent oiled paper. The ruled paper has several holes cut into it, revealing parts of the backing sheet. Intricate pencil and ink designs are drawn on the oiled paper. This work is part of the "40 Artists - 40 Drawings" series, acquired as a group in 2007.
