Following on from the previous entry, the original source of this transcribed drawing again features Mark E Smith, pictured at a live Fall gig, probably the better part of 25 years earlier than the portrait image.
The diamond patterned sweater of course makes numerous art historical references, from the tiled floors that often feature in Vermeer's paintings to our old friend the Modernist grid, particularly in this instance Mondrian's diamond, diagonal format canvases.
