Rita Angus sits at an easel painting her 1936-37 self-portrait (now in the collection of the Dunedin Public Art Gallery).

Look closely, and you can see how Angus has drawn her canvas up with a grid, in order to lay out the composition. Another of her paintings, Gasworks (1933), is visible under the easel.
