There is much rich black burr from the drypoint work in the print, but what stands out is the varied pattern of light and shadowing throughout the dense composition. Granddaughter of the famous Neo-Classical painter Jacques Louis David, Hermine David was a relatively well-known printmaker, watercolorist and book illustrator in the 1920’s and ’30’s. She lived in the United States for a while with her husband and fellow artist Jules Pascin." (H.S.)
