NOTE:
A sheet of small-format, opaline paper featuring a composition similar to screen-drawings, characterised by a black-painted frame along the edges and a rectangle-screen with the word ‘FINE’ (THE END) in the centre. Around the screen, ink drawings sketch out the silhouette of a woman in profile, amid a cartoonish landscape. For greater insight into the concept of ‘schermo’ in Mauri’s work, see the introductory essays.
