About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman. She wears a dark hooded cloak pulled over her head, leaving just her face visible. Her hands rest in her lap, and she smiles softly at the viewer. The artist used shading to create depth, especially around her face and cloak. This print looks like it was made using metal plates and ink, not paint.
