Description
A monochrome etching in dramatic chiaroscuro shows a woman's head and shoulders emerging from a deep black background, her face and neck lit from the front while the crossed folds of her pale kimono collar catch strong highlights against the shadow. Her eyes are downcast and her head tilted forward, giving the composition a quiet, contemplative mood. The print is pencil-signed and numbered in the lower margin below the image.
