A vertically oriented etching in black ink depicts a woman with a light skin tone seated on a dark object. She clutches a white cloth to her chest, her lower body draped in a pale garment. In the foreground sits a wide, dark basin. Her form is bathed in light, contrasting with the heavy cross-hatching and grainy darkness of the background. Behind her, a circular form and small figure are sketchily rendered in the shadows.
