As the artist has stated, ‘I really draw. It is easy for me. In reality, the less struggle there is for me the better I produce. It is not that I have a mentality that preplans, but I feel that drawing is about the impalpable…transparency.’

Executed in August 1982, this watercolour can be related to a later painting of the same title L’Isola (The Island), dating from 1993 and depicting a human figure resting alongside a small island in the midst of a sea, in the Würth collection in Germany.
