Initialled and dated ‘RW 2001’ lower right.

A painted photograph with pen on paper, this intimate work by Rachel Whiteread combines photographic imagery with hand-applied paint and ink, reflecting her enduring fascination with surfaces, memory, and the residue of human presence. The artist's initials and date, inscribed in the lower right, ground the piece as a personal record from 2001. Characteristic of Whiteread's broader practice, the work transforms an everyday medium into a contemplative object that hovers between documentation and abstraction.
