The second in the series inverts the first: now the ochre is the shape and the brown is the ground. The form is broader and heavier, filling most of the sheet, with a narrow brown channel cutting up through the middle and a scalloped foot along the bottom. Dry brush marks and small scratches run vertically through the colour, the trace of a hand-pulled print rather than a flat fill. Because the shape nearly touches all four edges, the brown reads as negative space rather than as background. It is the most solid of the three.

The large ochre mass makes this the warmest of the series and the one that holds a wall best on its own. It works above a sideboard or a bed in a room with wood, wool and warm white walls, and it does not need a second print to make sense. Oak or walnut frames stay in the palette; black cuts the warmth and sharpens the outline. Hung between its two companions it sits naturally in the middle, since the colour weight is heaviest here.
