B. Laura, n.d. - Drawing, on mount of .186 - unknown - T-Shirt

This design reproduces a faded working drawing: a faint pencil and chalk study of a radiating form, set on a pieced paper support and a darker tan mount.

Visual Elements & Composition

Parchment tones dominate the sheet, with olive brown spotting along its upper and side edges. A torn paper fragment sits at the top, and a darker mount runs across the lower centre. Within it, grey pencil and white chalk trace a central form with many strokes radiating outward. Some curve, and others are short, tentative marks. A handwritten inscription runs vertically along the right edge, and the catalogue number 1929.7.187 is legible on the sheet.

Meaning & Symbolism

The radiating arrangement reads as foliage or drapery built outward from a single centre. The pieced, mounted state of the sheet shows that the drawing was reused and assembled from separate pieces of paper. Fragmentary sheets like this record an artist testing forms and arrangements, so their meaning lies in the process they document. The work is catalogued under the name B. Laura and belongs to the Smithsonian American Art Museum collection.

On the T-Shirt

A drawing this quiet suits a shirt worn close to the body. The faint strokes and warm parchment tones stay legible at chest scale, where the central form can sit as the focal point and the radiating lines carry outward across the fabric. The faded, archival character of the sheet translates into an everyday piece that looks lived-in from the first wear.
