Relaxing 1950

"Relaxing" is a woodblock print created by E. Walsh, Jr. in 1950. The artwork depicts a seated figure, likely a woman, in a simple interior setting. She is shown soaking her feet in a basin, her body and the surrounding environment rendered in a stark black and white palette. The artist uses bold, graphic lines and textures to create a sense of depth and detail, highlighting the contrast between the figure’s relaxed posture and the plain, possibly rural environment. This artwork exemplifies the expressive power of woodblock printing, a medium that Walsh, Jr., mastered during his short but impactful career.
