Concentric slate-blue and yellow rings forming a target alternate against a coral-red background in this vertical etching. The innermost circle is blue and is followed by two yellow and two more blue rings. The colors are toned down and covered with scribbles and hatch marks, and lines in darker blue are drawn near the edges of those rings. Four conjoined orange panels line the top of the target. All have the word "FACE" printed backwards in pale orange text, and the letters on the leftmost and rightmost panels are also outlined, making the text easier to read. A slat painted with streaks of tan and ash brown suggests wood grain above the panels and wood framing around them. Two hinges in the dark gap between the wood panels connect them together. The image is enclosed in a black outline and surrounded by a wide white margin. A pencil inscription under the left corner of the printed image reads, “WORKING PROOF WITH IN ADDITION.” The artist scrawled his signature and the date, “79” under the right corner.

Concentric faded denim-blue and lemon-yellow rings forming a target alternate against a ruby-red background in this vertical etching. The innermost circle is blue and is followed by two yellow and two more blue rings. Streaks in darker tones of blue, yellow, and red are drawn mostly at the edges of the rings. A row of four orange blocks, each with the word "FACE" printed backward and in darker orange, lines the target along the top edge. The trim around the blocks and across the top quarter of the etching is streaked with tones of light tan and brown. The uppermost slat is separated from the words below by a thin blue line in which two darker brown sections suggest hinges. The printed image is surrounded by a wide white margin. Pencil inscriptions under the printed image reads “Trial Proof” to the left and "J J '79" to the right.

Concentric charcoal-gray and muted jasmine-yellow rings forming a target alternate against a raspberry-red background in this vertical etching. The innermost circle is gray and is followed by two yellow and two more charcoal rings. The rings and background covered with hatch marks. A row of four burnt-orange blocks, each with the word "FACE" printed backward and in darker orange, lines the target along the top edge. The trim around the blocks and across the top quarter of the etching is painted ash brown and then lined with a lighter tan to suggest wood grain. A slat across the top of the composition is separated from the words below by a thin black line and two brown sections that suggest hinges. The printed image is surrounded by a wide white margin. Pencil inscriptions under the printed image reads “Trial Proof” to the left and "J J '79" to the right.
