The page has three black-and-white illustrations of artwork. The first is a portrait that appears to be a painting. The second is a portrait of a woman, also seemingly a painting, but with a somewhat different style. The third is an abstract composition with geometric patterns. The images seem to be included to visually represent some of the works from the Pulitzer collection that were part of the exhibition. The text accompanying the illustrations provides context about the works and their artists.
