A delicate yet striking work on Ingres paper, Schütte's *Christene* combines watercolour washes with precise ink mark-making to conjure a figural presence that hovers between tenderness and unease. The textured surface of the paper lends the work an intimate, almost archival quality, absorbing the fluid pigment in ways that soften edges and blur the boundary between form and ground. True to Schütte's broader practice, the piece reflects his enduring fascination with the human figure as a site of psychological and emotional ambiguity.
