Fingerprint: WINTER SPORTS in cream capitals across dark alpine night scene, two male skiers in vivid red racing suits descending snow slope, one foreground figure leaning hard with bent knees, companion crouching behind, snow-laden orange chalet with steep roofs on left third, red cylindrical object with cream band at right, five rectangular dark window apertures puncturing artwork
A snow-diving pair of male skiers in vivid red suits against a deep navy night sky, with WINTER SPORTS in fat cream capitals floating above them. The five dark window apertures punched into the artwork are unusual - two across the top corners and three more stacked down the left and right edges. A bright red barrel-shaped cylinder on the right side, banded cream, is an unexpected splash of colour in an alpine scene. A snow-capped orange chalet with steep white roofs anchors the left third, and a tiny gold crest of clustered circles sits at bottom centre.

| Man | Front skier, adult male in a bright red one-piece ski suit, dark cap, leaning forward hard with knees bent and arms trailing, ski poles angled back behind him, moving to the right across the snow |

A landscape-format backglass, photographed slightly askew inside a pale painted wooden cabinet frame against a cream wall. The whole field is a night alpine scene: a deep navy-blue sky washing down into a broad red and pink band along the bottom edge. Five dark rectangular window apertures puncture the art - two large ones across the top left and top right corners, one low on the left, and two stacked down the right side - each outlined by a pale grey-white frame line and filled with dark night sky. Upper centre carries a two-line title, WINTER SPORTS, in large cream-to-pale-yellow bold condensed capitals. Centre stage is a pair of male skiers in red suits: the front man leans forward hard, knees bent, poles trailing behind him, racing to the right; a second skier in a darker maroon suit crouches behind and to the left. The left third holds a snow-laden orange-brown chalet with steep white roofs and dark windows, backed by dark blue-green snow-covered pines. On the right sits a bright red cylinder with a cream band and a dark base. A small gold-and-black crest of clustered round shapes sits at bottom centre.
