The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key element and critical shift in the artist's practice and technique: the shift in Harmel's figurative work toward a greater focus with her nudes on fabric and props. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this shift in her art. Harmel's collaborative work and this series in particular is discussed extensively in the article and have been discussed in detail by numerous art critics.
