Stained and bleached panel, transparent gesso, five transparent glazes, large initial marks, five further glazes, then smaller marks and highlights.

Artwork note

Brown, olive, charcoal, and muted violet form the broad underlying field. A brighter passage of pale blue, grey, pink, orange, and white gathers through the centre, with fine marks extending into the darker edges. The larger forms and later smaller marks remain visibly separate within the same surface.
