Only one title is known:

  • 'Or et lilas' (1980, YMSM). 2

The title means gold and lilac.

Description

Unknown. The colours implied by the title, gold and lilac, may suggest a figure study rather than a view, but this is not certain. It is also possible that it showed flowers, but if so, no such subject has survived.
