Saturated violet-purple and deep indigo-purple spread across a pale silver-grey ground in large, cloud-like masses with no fixed edges. The close-up reveals the hi-low construction working at its most visible: silk holds the purple at full saturation and height, wool pulls the grey passages flat and cool beneath it. The contrast here is stark and immediate.
