Large mixed media assemblage artwork by Y.B. Martin, dated August 1990, titled “Niike nude, shirt and Brushes” as inscribed on the reverse. The composition combines a painted artist’s brush with a whimsical dripping paint motif, a mounted painted shirt depicting a moonlit landscape with a house and illuminated doorway, and a framed painting featuring a tree rendered as a female nude figure. Set against a crackle-finished background within a wood frame, the work demonstrates elements of folk art, surrealism, and assemblage sculpture. The reverse bears the artist’s signature, date, title inscription, and handling note advising avoidance of direct sunlight.
