2018.33.39: Actress
PrintsAt center, a young woman with dark skin and dark hair pulled back behind her head, stands in profile facing right. She wears a blue knee-length dress and clutches a sheet of paper in one hand, while gesturing with her other. Just behind her is a tall folding screen, which has on one panel, a stylized image of a woman. The image lacks facial features, but two masks appear by its head, one on either side. Beyond the screen is a partially drawn magenta curtain at left and a balustrade at the edge of the stage at right. Three balloons float above against a blue background.
