French Stone Lithograph by Bob Meyer: Signed, Dated, and Marked AP. Paris, Framed

A woman in profile, chin lifted, in a blouse whose dots do most of the talking.

Printed Blouse is a stone lithograph by Bob Meyer, from France, made around 2009 in ink on paper, signed, dated and marked AP, and printed in Paris. An AP, or artist's proof, is traditionally one of a small number of impressions set aside from the numbered edition for the artist. The woman's hair is a loose tangle of lines, her face a single clean edge of profile. Her blouse is a dense pattern of dark circles in rich, smudgy tone. The sheet is matted in white and set in a black frame carved with rolling waves. It is 23.5 inches wide and 28.5 high.

She knows the blouse is the subject and has made her peace with it.
