About this work

This image is a woodcut print of a woman sitting on a chair, putting on her shoes. The woman has dark hair and is wearing a dress with a scarf around her neck. Her right leg is bent, and she is holding her shoe in her right hand. The background is abstract, with various shapes and lines. The woman's facial expression is neutral, and her body language suggests she is focused on the task at hand. The overall mood of the image is one of quiet contemplation.
