The designs – sketched in pencil, coloured with bold, vibrant gouache and opaque white, and finally finished with a sprayed layer – are characterised by attractive compositions of colour and form, as well as detailed execution. Each of these designs, which were probably created in the design office of a workshop or at a school, is unique.
