Item Details
An aquatint etching on paper by well-known artist Emily Burling Waite (1887 – 1980). Depicted is a seated woman holding a blue towel over her shoulders and looking downwards. A figure is working the woman’s hair through pins to create a wave texture similar to what is framing the woman’s face.
