Heavy, slightly textured paper of the old 20th-century trial proof bears the faint, ghosted impression of an artist’s early vision, perhaps a penciled note scrawled in the margin. Rendered in a stark, yet delicate, monochromatic scale, the print unveiled a hushed tableau: a solemn gathering of figures at the water’s edge. Their long, flowing habits, distinct in their simplicity, subtly suggested the blue over white associated with Conceptionist nuns, their veiled heads inclined towards the gentle, unseen lapping of waves or a vast, reflective lake. A profound stillness emanated from their unified postures, caught in a moment of shared contemplation against the open, luminous expanse of the water – a scene imbued with a quietude that transcended the ink and paper, pulling the viewer into its serene, enigmatic depths.
On the reverse there is a very faint pencil mark of an arrow suggesting there are alignment and possible plate issues and this trial proof is printed on “Rag Paper”
