Fragment No. 2

Vertical colour drawing made of pastel. The drawing shows a hallway with a teal blue/green floor. On the right side of the drawing, there is a yellow door with some grey at the top and bottom with a black frame. The wall by the door is white but as it goes towards the top of the image, there are two burgundy stripes with grey above and below. At the left, there is a black rectangle on the wall with grey above. In the grey spot, there are grey pipes and rectangles. Beside the black rectangle, there is part of the wall that protrudes out like a column. The column is multiple colours (teal, green, grey, navy blue, white, burgundy, beige, and tan) in various spots. Beside the column, the wall imposes but then protrudes slightly out again. On the imposed side, there is a grey rectangle and a beige rectangle on the protruding wall. Above the column and rest of the wall towards the white, the wall is tan until the edge of the image with a black line near where the silver turns into the beige. The whole image is surrounded by a white border and it has a line of text at the bottom right. The image is within a copper coloured frame.
