Field notes
The page speaks as the painting, describing old canvas, old wood, and handwritten marks on its back. It says the artist is unknown and leaves an account of how the painting reached its owner unresolved. The owner is described as living in a care home; the page proposes a million-dollar valuation as a way to help pay for her care, but does not describe a valuation or fundraising process.
