Scope and Contents
In this drawing, the Sackners thought that the central image was a woman's face. It was created with a combination of micrography, hieroglyphics and realistic markings representing hair. *WEB 1998: Angelo Merante: The face in the center of work is a portrait of young Jean Nicholas Arthur Rimbaud (based on iconography of his times) and not the portrait of a woman (although Paul Verlaine was surprised when, seeing the face of this young poet, noted the perfect ovoidal shape in his face. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
