Produced by Braun & Cie, a renowned French printing house known for their technical mastery in heliogravure reproductions. Their work for museums and leading artists set the standard for fine art printing in the early 20th century. In this work, the soft tonal transitions and subtle grain of the original charcoal are preserved with clarity.

She leans slightly, her form defined by deep shadow on one side and a light, minimal background on the other. Mounted in a natural-white passe-partout (40 × 50 cm, acid-free paper), ready to be framed.
