"Capricho" Original Impressionist Monotype In this eye-catching monotype, a performer stands on a stage, lit by a beam of light with one hand raised above her. The lifted hand and planted feet of the performer create an air of steadiness while her curved posture shows that she is ready to spring into movement. Behind the performer, the audience is reduced to a mix of circles and brushstrokes, also bathed in the stage light. The performer stands on a yellow foreground, contrasting with the deep blues and blacks of the unlit areas. A variety of different strokes and marks are visible on this monotype creating a range of visual interest. Paper size: 24.88"H x 18.38"W Mat size: 28"H x 22"W Signed on bottom left: L.
