Cream across the full surface, broken only by a narrow charcoal accent that drops vertically through the upper third — almost a margin note. The painting is built to be lived with at close range; the surface continues to read at thirty centimetres.
Two weeks across six sessions. Two-coat gesso on Belgian linen, finished with a thin matte wax rather than varnish.
Currently reserved. If the reservation falls through, the work will reappear here. Email the studio to be notified.
The charcoal mark was placed last, in one stroke, with the corner of a knife. It is the only mark in the painting that wasn't reworked.
