Rapsodie

An abstract composition dominated by two dark, angular forms suggesting stringed instrument bodies, overlaid with dense webs of fine white and dark linework, set against a backdrop of pale rose-and-cream mountain-like shapes under a light blue sky. The palette is soft and muted—dusty pink, sage green, powder blue, and charcoal—with a mottled, textured surface typical of aquatint. Signed in pencil below the image ("Shoichi Hasegawa") with the title "Rapsodie" and an edition number; medium is etching and aquatint on Moulin du Gué wove paper.
