- Caption
- This print of two Black women combines the elegant, streamlined modernism characteristic of the 20th century with the clean, hand-cut lines of traditional woodblock printing. The women’s faces are the focus of the image, and simple white linework on a solid black background delineate their eyes, noses, eyebrows, and lips. A black border frames the women, palm tree, and rolling hills in the background.

- Este grabado de dos mujeres negras combina el modernismo elegante y depurado característico del siglo XX con las líneas limpias, talladas a mano de la xilografía tradicional. Finas líneas blancas delinean los ojos, narices, cejas y labios en los rostros de las mujeres, en el centro de la imagen, mientras que un borde negro enmarca a las mujeres, la palmera y las colinas del fondo.
