Notes
signed lower right; signed, titled and inscribed 'I admire many Oriental objects for their combined beauty and function. The objected represented in the composition are things an artist would assemble when beginning a painting. In the old Chinese ink dish are a bamboo-handled brush and cover, and a decorated ink stick. Beside the bowl is a marble block into which the artist's signature is carved, and then inked and stamped on the completed painting.' verso; framed with archival mat
