A vertically oriented etching on off-white paper uses spare black outlines to depict a woman in profile, leaning diagonally toward our left. Her fingers reach toward jagged, minimalist lines suggesting a cityscape. The scene contains no shading, relying on thin, continuous strokes against a blank background. Minimal diagonal lines appear to our right. Handwritten numbers and a signature mark the bottom edge of the paper.
