拍品專文

One of Eileen's earliest collage pictures - a sensitive and lyrical composition - the Henry Moore-like form of the woman stencilled and made personal - unique even - by the use of the two chestnut leaves just touched by indigo paint. Only Eileen could have conceived it.
Allen Freer.

`Woman Clad with Leaves was probably one of Agar's very first collages, especially collages made with actual leaves - earlier on, she had chanced upon a book containing dried leaves. The link is clearly established between woman and nature. The collage, framed with a winding line, presents us with a kind of bird-like form, which watches lines unrolling from the leaves and covering what appears to be a spread-eagled feminine shape' (M. Remy, Eileen Agar: Dreaming oneself awake, London, 2017, p. 59).
