- Comment
This etching is one of two prints by Amor that show his partner, the artist Meg Williams, resting on a sofa; the other is the woodcut Nude on a couch, also made in 1990. Both prints are rendered in the same direction and both are based on the same drawing from life.
The etching exists as two impressions of the only state. Amor did not take it any further, because he was dissatisfied with it.
The copper plate on which E.035 was made has been lost.
