This etching on paper depicts a seated woman in profile, wearing a headscarf and leaning forward toward a shallow bowl. The work utilizes a monochromatic palette with expressive, etched lines and tonal areas to define the subject's form and draped clothing. The composition is centered on a neutral-toned paper, characteristic of the artist's social-realist style which often focused on the human condition and marginalized figures. The work is signed in Hebrew in the lower center. It is presented in a gilded wooden frame with a decorative notched border and off-white matting.
