DescriptionEn suite with 3 others in the "Green Chateau" series (Hyde Murray collection, 1992.1.4, and 1995.10.9 and 1995.10.10). The four prints were made with a single zinc plate drawn in part with green fingerprint dots made with the artist's hand. These are denser in the upper half of the image and form a green diagonal swath there. The lower portion of the rectangle has an open area with an irregular organic shape outlined in the lower right. There is a more solid green 'figure' on the left side, an abstract peanut-like shape with two 'legs.' The gouache in Green Chateau II is a dense orange-yellow.
Plain, flat-molded box frame of light-colored wood rubbed with white paint or stain.ProvenanceCollection of Jane S. Murray, New York, NY; by bequest to The Hyde Collection 2009.
