Description

A woman's face and shoulders are rendered in bold black-and-white woodcut, her features reduced to a few sparse lines with elongated, heavy-lidded eyes and a small closed mouth, set against an irregular black ground that frames her head. Fine white striations pattern her hair and the dark background, and a red seal appears beside the artist's pencil signature at lower left. *Satsuko*, Shiko Munakata, 1962, woodcut.
