Four and a Half Coats! Vintage Inkwash Drawing on Card with Another on Reverse v&b then sliding the lid overSomething super satisfying about these coats, and I love that the odd one, which looks like mink to me, is only half in view, as if these coats might continue on forever just outside the frame or as if to say what we really want may remain forever out of reach. Unsigned other than the two words "My Mel" on reverse, I really feel like this was done by someone known; it has a bit of a Raymond Pettibon feel to me, especially the flip side. 11 1 4" x 7 1
