About this work

This drawing looks like a pile of old papers and objects glued together. There’s a black-and-white sketch of two people, a calendar page with dates, some coins, and a piece of paper with writing and a stamp. The colors are mostly faded browns, grays, and a little red from the envelope. The envelope is addressed to someone named Monsieur Antoine Sielli. The coins and sketches are layered on top of each other, making it look like a messy desk. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more odd and interesting art like this.
