About this work

In the background, there is a large, abstracted face with a prominent nose and mouth. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of serenity and contemplation. The woman's pose and expression convey a sense of calmness, while the abstracted face in the background adds a touch of mystery to the scene. The use of muted colors and soft lines further enhances the peaceful ambiance of the image. To learn more about the artist's use of lithography, explore the works of Paul Sérusier.
