Tuberculosis patient 17

3 artworks identified by Rita Simon's pseudonym "Tuberculosis Patient 17". The information about the artworks is, in places, taken from notes written by Wellcome staff during conversations with Rita Simon between 1995 and 1997. In these notes there is mention of a third painting which Rita Simon says is currently at routledge. The description of that artwork does not match any of the three artworks in this patient's folder.

The artworks are of varying subject matter, painted in a figurative manner and show a degree of prior artistic training.
