The Sick Child I
1993

A watercolor painting of a doll in a red outfit and a blonde figure, possibly a second doll or a representation of a person, with a gentle embrace. The artwork is taped to a surface with brown tape along the edges, and the colors are soft and somewhat blurred, giving the image a dreamy quality.
