A Lady with an Umbrella c. 1930s

"A Lady with an Umbrella" is a black and white etching created by Italian artist Enrico Vegetti in the 1930s. The artwork depicts a woman standing with her back to the viewer, holding an umbrella in her right hand. The woman’s face is obscured by her hat, suggesting a sense of mystery and intrigue, characteristics common in Vegetti’s work. The etching’s use of shading and line work contributes to the piece’s dramatic and expressive quality. The artwork’s stark composition and use of negative space contribute to the overall atmosphere of solitude and introspection.
