The title describes a wavy patterned design on a sheet that has been framed and taped, which suggests a decorative study rather than a record of a performance or a musician. Its place on the board among music and dance designs points to a link with stage or performance culture, perhaps as a pattern for costume, backdrop or printed program. Designs of this kind were often produced as working drawings, so the tape and frame marks likely reflect how the sheet was kept or handled over time. Looking closely at the rhythm of the curves can show how a designer translated the energy of movement into flat, repeating form.
