Various Positions of Giant Lipstick to Replace the Fountain of Eros, Piccadilly Circus, London
1966

A whimsical drawing featuring a series of five fingers depicted as people with red-painted nails, where the fingertips are the heads. The first finger on the left appears to be lying down, while the others stand upright. The background is minimalistic with a few abstract lines and shapes.
