Print
A vertically oriented print in bold black ink depicts a stylized woman with flowing hair and a raised hand. Thick outlines define her features and decorative collar. Floating fields of color overlay the drawing: an orange oval masks the face, a yellow leaf-like form occupies the top left, and a blue curve sits at the bottom right. Swirling, abstract lines frame the figure, while the initials F.L. anchor the lower right.
