Colour lithograph, signed 'Moore' in pencil, and with the inscription 'For/V&A'. The print depicts a woman seated in a rough, brick-walled room with her arms crossed on top of one another. Most of her body is in black, with her facial features highlighted in white. The use of light on one of her arms and the edge of her chair creates a chiascuro effect. The floor and areas of the wall are toned in a translucent yellow-beige.
