Notes

The nude seems three-dimensional due to the special technique used by the artist: "De diepte van de inkervingen varieert van niet verder dan de eerste kartonlaag tot dwars door het karton heen zodat er ook aan de achterkant een compositie kan ontstaan. [...] De uitgesneden stukken karton worden verwijderd, zodat de voorstelling in een monochroom reliëf tevoorschijn komt, althans in letterlijk de grote lijnen." [The depth of the carvings varies from no further than the first cardboard layer to straight through the cardboard so that a composition can also been seen on the back. [...] The cut-out pieces of board are removed, revealing an image in a monochrome relief, literally showing the main lines of the composition. NRC 28 juni 1996, interview with the artist]. Lady Jane was the artist's model and lover, who inspired dozens of his nudes, even when she was not posing for a painting herself. He met her in the early 1960s when she was 16 years old, only in 1986 their relationship became intimate.
