Print
A horizontally oriented drypoint print on tan paper depicts various sketches. At the left, there is a sketch of a profile of a girl looking right. In the center, a long-necked swan floats on water indicated by hatching, with a faint profile of the girl overlapping its neck. At the right, there are sketches of a smaller duck. Fine, scratched lines create a translucent, layered effect across the composition.
