Catalogue Note
When unframed, there is a small circle drawn below the image which was Wesselmann's symbol to indicate that this study was the one he chose to use the composition in the large painting that resulted. His notation at the bottom “1 of 3 leg positions” confirms there were other studies with variations in the leg positions. For the final painting he used the colors from another study as the final color-study.
