DescriptionThis aquatint depicts a square turned at a 45 degree angle to create a diamond shape. It is white and it is adjacent to another similar smaller shape in the upper left corner of the composition. Both of these forms are loosely rendered and they are surrounded by additional white splatters, drips and gestural markings, all superimposed on a black ground.
