CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
An etching printed in black and red/orange depicts two seated figures, as seen from a close-up view point above . A woman appears to sit between another person's legs (or possibly in lap?) and the bottom of her face is just in in the frame at the bottom of the image, looking upward. She is wearing an open shirt or robe, revealing nude breasts, stomach and folded leg. The person behind her is only visible by their arms and legs around her. In the background from the top of the image to the middle are horizontal stripes.
