Drypoint or etching with loose, expressive lines depicting a reclining nude figure at center-left, surrounded by swirling abstract marks, scattered small bird-like forms, and radiating diagonal strokes on a pale ground.
Etching of a nude figure in dramatic diagonal pose, head thrown back and one arm raised upward, long hair flowing downward, with expressive crosshatched linework against a lightly sketched background with dark cloud-like forms.
