Catalogue Note
As Hilary Pyle has written, technique was always a central concern in Anne Yeats' work. In examples such as the present and lot 222, she would take butter muslin, soak it in diluted oil pigment and press it to the canvas, to leave intriguing ambiguities. To these forms, she would sometimes then superimpose apples or oranges or lemons.
