This is a black-and-white print of a woman sitting with her hands folded. She’s wearing a dark dress with a light collar, and her hair falls over her shoulders. Behind her, a faint landscape shows mountains and a winding road. The print copies a famous painting, but it’s not the original. The artist here, Urbain Massard, made this version by tracing over the original lines. If you want to see the original, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
