Note du spécialiste

In the present work Wallis has deliberately used the existing fold in the cardboard to provide the horizon for his picture. Composed almost entirely in black and white with a thin wash over the whole area of paint Wallis lets the card define the composition rather than having to emphasise it with paint.
