The object in the museum catalogue

Two color chromogenic prints of Eve sitting at a table in Times Square, New York City.

Eve is pictured in the center of the image, wearing a yellow shirt with a wide scoop neck, a diamond necklace, and diamond earrings. Her hair is pulled back. There are two paw print tattoos visible on her chest and a tattoo of Japanese writing on her proper left arm. On the table next to her is a short-stemmed glass of water with lemon, a large blue glass bottle of Saratoga spring water, and a candle holder with a silver base and white frosted glass top. The table is next to a curved railing and more tables and chairs are out of focus in the background, under brightly colored lights on the top proper right side of the image.
