• Scully's expressive watercolors make up an independent group of works on a par with his large-format paintings.
• Scully translates his so-called "inset" paintings - works with smaller painted canvases inserted into the canvas - into the watercolor technique.
• In 1996, the year the present work was made, the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, the Museum Folkwang in Essen and the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris, among others, showed comprehensive exhibitions of the artist's works on paper.
• Watercolors from the 1990s can be found in, among others, the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
