Artist, British, 1890 - 1978

This print shows the upper half of a woman's body. Her body is slightly turned to the left, while her head is turned to face us. She has a long nose, straight eyebrows, a cleft chin, and lips set in a neutral expression. She has long, dark hair, with bangs that cut across her forehead. The rest of her hair is gathered over her shoulder, where she is using both hands to braid it. She is wearing a long-sleeved garment with soft folds, slightly puffed sleeves, and a wide neckline. She casts a dark shadow against the empty background.
