A stylised figure of a Scottish woman from yesteryear. Drawn from a ceramic figurine, she wears a feathered 'bonnet' on her head, holds plaid cloth around her shoulders, has on a layered, full skirt, and stands on a rounded plinth. She's drawn with water soluble markers on tracing paper / vellum. The colours have a translucent quality.
A rectangular piece of tracing paper - portrait format, folded in to equal parts.
Each quarter contains a different colour drawing - orange, blue, yellow, brown. Only the brown - bottom right hand corner - makes sense as a line drawing of an historical, costumed figurine.
When the paper is refolded the overlaps ie colour separations become one layered drawing.

A flat piece of tracing paper, one colour per section. Refolded the overlaps come together as a drawing of a Staffordshire flatback figurine: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staffor...
