Benton Spruance's 1950 lithograph "Girl with Mask" depicts a young woman holding a mask to her face. The composition is framed by geometric shapes and a minimalist, black and white palette, characteristic of Spruance's artistic style. The emotional ambiguity of the subject, her face obscured yet visible, invites viewers to contemplate the nature of identity and performance. This work is a powerful example of Spruance's masterful use of line and tone to convey a complex psychological portrait.
