DescriptionA stack of balls combining pale orange, red and brown shapes to the left of center, set against dark green shapes outlined in gold, set in turn against a blue background. The background and green shapes are intersected with black lines. A blue paintbrush facing down is visible at the top of the print; to its left, what appears to be a pendant on a wide ribbon. Below the tip of the paintbrush, an upside-down R that is perhaps held in a blue fist. At the right edge of the print, a color scale.Provenance
