Print
A vertically oriented print in black ink on cream paper depicts a central figure whose torso is a cello. A small head with a cap sits atop the instrument's neck. To the right, a hand extends to draw a horizontal bow. Two dark, heavy legs end in shoes with upturned toes. Stippled patterns and curved hatching provide texture in the background, and a signature appears in the lower right margin.
