LOT 32

She closed the curtain
by Lucia Masciullo

Description

From Edwina Wyatt's book Olive, this original illustration depicts a girl who has just lost her beloved cat and refuses to look at the olive tree her parents planted to comfort her. The picture was not included in the book, because I preferred a watercolour style over a collage one.

Watercolour, pencil and collage on paper, 240x295 mm
