This painting is an etching with a handwritten text in French, possibly a poem or excerpt, set against a light gray background. The text is written in cursive and is difficult to read, but it appears to be a passage from a literary work. The etching is part of a portfolio with nine etchings, four of which feature aquatint, engraving, and one with drypoint. The artist, Maria Martins, was a Brazilian artist who created this work in 1946. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this piece, you can look up Maria Martins.
