Soft pale face of a woman resting her chin on her hands, surrounded by swirling green and mauve hatched lines.

Reverie

A pale female face with dark, flowing hair rests on folded hands, framed by swirling hatched lines in green, mauve and ochre. The soft tonal modeling and dreamy, enclosed composition suggest a quiet, introspective mood. The image appears to be a colored crayon or lithographic print on paper.
