Artist, Welsh, 1878 - 1961

The image shows an etching of a person from the shoulders up in a seated, slightly turned position. The individual's face is in a three-quarter view, with soft, rounded features and a slight expression of contemplation or attention as they gaze off to the side. The person's hair is curly and styled close to the head, adding texture and volume. They are wearing a loose-fitting garment with a buttoned collar, depicted with fine lines indicating softness. No jewelry or objects are visible. The background consists of textured, crosshatched lines, creating a neutral setting that does not distract from the person's face and features.
