This is a complex drawing dealing with a stylized white faced, portrait of a pharmacist working at a counter next to a bed that has bottles placed on its top surface. There is no vanishing point of three dimensionality. Shelves with colored bottles are placed at the top of the drawing along with a pair of white curtains painted with a red cross. Written and printed text surround the image in a chaotic fashion. The paper was made from cardboard egg crate carton material. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
