Paper-and-Wire Lioness With Painted Backdrop

This paper-and-wire lioness keeps its construction fully visible, the wrapped bands and joins as legible as the animal they form. Staged directly against a densely painted panel, it is one of several instances in the archive where Finke set his provisional creatures against his own paintings for the camera.
