Where the Two Came to Their Father, Maud Oakes, After a drawing by Jeff King, screenprint
This is a colored portrait of the artist's face as he lies in bed and rests his head upon a white pillow. Only his face is pictured. His open eyes look straight at the camera as his mouth sits slightly open and exposes his white teeth. Large under-eye circles appear below his eyes. He sports a dark brown mustache and beard. The white pillow forms the background. The image is enclosed by a white frame.
An abstract, high contrast black and white photograph of multiple exposures on a black background of an abstract white triangular shape with black horizontal lines and a thicker vertical curved line. Across the top of the triangle is a white diagonal line, similar to in texture of a pencil mark.
