A head rendered in three flat areas of color—a grainy ochre background, the face and neck in gold, and a square headdress outlined as a single black silhouette—the features highlighted by two eyes with heavy eyelids and a closed mouth, with a black bar closing off the composition in the lower left corner. Minaux, who learned lithography at the Mourlot studio beginning in 1948, routinely printed and annotated distinct states of his stones; this print comes from a run of thirty-five copies of the first state.
