The image features intertwining curved and jagged lines that form an array of eyes and facial features. The central arrangement resembles a complex floral motif or an intricate woven fabric. To the left, a rounded shape with two protrusions is present, and several skeletal faces and structures are on the right. The composition suggests a crowded assembly of faces and eyes on a dusk-toned background.

The Three Incestuous Sisters

Audrey Niffenegger · 2003 · hand-colored etching and aquatint on Sakamoto wove paper ·  Accession ID  2018.143.43

This is a drawing of a living room with a television displaying a scene. The room is decorated in muted tones with a television set prominently displaying an intense image. The walls of the room feature framed artwork, including what appears to be an abstract piece. To the right, there is an ashtray containing a partially smoked cigarette with smoke curling upwards. The lighting and shading give the room an atmospheric feeling, with light sources playing a key role in illuminating certain elements while casting others in shadow. The composition creates a sense of tension, contrasting domestic tranquility with the dramatic content on the television.
