sketch of self in the evening, upper right of canvas, the shadows were recorded as I saw them – they are not applied with any meaning, though they look a bit like S’s, and my name is Sarah. It looks unhappy, ponderous, and maybe I was a bit lonely back then, but I was also happy, and the shadows were just shadows. The left eye, right side of canvas is off level (somewhat too low) – and not intentionally so – but nonetheless, the oil sketch idoes look quite like me.
