Girl Blowing Smoke Rings
1945, printed 1981

A vintage etching depicting a seated woman in a dress, looking to her right with her finger pointing upwards. The style suggests an early to mid-20th-century artwork, with expressive line work and shading that creates a sense of depth and texture. The woman's expression is contemplative, and the background features indistinct forms, possibly suggesting an interior space. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom right of the image.
