A vertically oriented etching in black ink depicts a woman standing and facing our right. Shaded with fine, overlapping lines, she is draped in a dark, hooded cloak over a floor-length, pleated skirt, with a mask over her upper face. Her hands rest inside a large, furry muff, and a circular object hangs from her waist. A signature and date mark the bottom left; a number appears at the far right.
