A colorful vertically oriented lithograph depicts a stylized face outlined in thick black ink. Bright green and yellow washes fill wavy hair at the top and right. A vertical blue stripe marks the face on the left, and a yellow wash covers the cheek and chin on the right. An orange L-shape defines the nose, with an orange line above the eye to our right. The initials F.L. appear at the bottom right.
