Seated Woman in Profile, Etching and Drypoint

A woman with short dark hair sits in profile facing right, her long pale gown rendered in loose, feathery lines beside a dark, heavily hatched chair at left. The etching and drypoint technique leaves the upper background open and light, with the figure fading into the paper toward the lower edge.
