Español: Bajo la lámpara

Un interior tenue de noche muestra a una mujer con vestido oscuro inclinada sobre una hoja de papel en una mesa, mientras un hombre apoya la cabeza en la mano junto a una lámpara encendida. El grabado al barniz blando y la aguatinta con raspado crean sombras aterciopeladas sobre papel crema.

Português: Sob a lâmpada

Um interior escuro à noite mostra uma mulher de vestido escuro inclinada sobre uma folha de papel em uma mesa, enquanto um homem apoia a cabeça na mão ao lado de uma lâmpada acesa. A gravura em verniz mole e aquatinta com raspagem cria sombras veludosas e realces claros sobre papel creme.
