Sketch with painted ink, Opus #2 Study, 1953

Parsons depicts the form of a cellist playing in a symphony wearing full black tie attire. She employs several different styles over the course of her 6 sketches, culminating into the piece Opus #2. Of the other three works, two of these are prints, and the other is an ink on paper painting. One of the two prints appears to be the original of a self-portrait which later became an exhibit flier, and the other appears to be an old woman asleep in bed.
