Miss Bea 1934

"Miss Bea" is a 1934 etching by the French artist Jacques Villon (1875-1963), known for his Cubist and Post-Impressionist works. The print depicts a woman in a seated pose, her face subtly rendered with cross-hatched lines and a sense of melancholy. The background is a series of lines suggesting a textured surface. Villon's use of line and tone emphasizes the form of the subject, revealing his mastery of printmaking techniques. This work is a fine example of Villon's style, which combines a classic sense of portraiture with an experimental and innovative approach to form and composition.
