Edition Information:
The color of the ink and the hand additions on this composition vary across the edition. For comparison, see other impressions in the Evolving Composition Diagram below.

In this edition, Bourgeois and the publisher designated each impression as a "study." However, throughout the catalogue, the term "study" describes photocopies and tracings that were used in the process of developing a composition.
Impression:
Verso: "Study 4/12"
Curatorial Remarks:
The plate dimensions, hand additions, verso inscription, and paper type could not be fully documented because this work is not in MoMA's Collection and could not be examined in person. The sheet dimensions were provided by the Louise Bourgeois Studio.

"Eyes" (2005) in Related Works in Other Mediums is a stencil drawing that looks very similar to some prints in the Words theme. There are four "Eyes" stencil drawings with varying hand additions, not to be confused for a print.
Description:
Soft ground etching, with watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil additions
