A seated female nude in profile, her body rendered in pink and red against a background of dark blue, black, brown, and a triangle of bright yellow at the left. The figure is carved in bold, angular strokes with the grain and gouges of the woodblock visible throughout. Her dark hair is a heavy black mass. The skin is printed in layered pink and red inks, with the white paper showing through where the block was cut away. The printing is deliberately rough, with uneven ink coverage and visible texture across the surface. Color woodcut, 1915.
