DescriptionIn this print, in the upper third of the composition, it appears that a brush loaded with white "paint" has been pressed to the surface over ten times to form a series of horizontal and parallel forms from which thinner white "paint" has been allowed to flow horizontally down the surface of the print. Certain areas are enlivened by splashes of "white" paint. The background is blue.
