This is one of sixteen color mezzotints in the Flowers of Turbulence suite, comprised of eight portraits and eight images of flowers. Nineteenth century daguerreotypes served as inspiration for the portraits, each of which represent a product of a turbulent society, i.e., greed, compassion, or obedience. Five mezzotint plates were used in the execution of each image, providing the means of layering imagery and attaining a depth of color. Selected plates were printed a la poupée, that is, two or more color inks were applied to one plate.
