A large central spiral rosette anchors the composition's midpoint with a confident circular geometry. The palette is warm and harmonious, with soft pinks, mauves, blues, creams, ochres, and peaches working together in a unified, contemplative whole. The visible underdrawing grid on the verso reveals the artist's methodical approach to these complex compositions.<br> <br> Signed "ISHISHI" lower right.
