The monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears in large raised letters in the upper right field. Kandinsky's stylized facsimile signature is inscribed in the lower right field. The legend 'Composition VIII' appears along the lower left and the date '1923' along the lower right, both in the exergue area. |
