Profile 1919

"Profile" is a 1919 etching by American artist Arthur Bowen Davies. The print depicts the profile of an individual with their hair covering much of the face. It's a simple composition, capturing the essence of a person in silhouette. The use of etching, a traditional printmaking method, adds a unique texture and depth to the piece. Davies's work is known for its stylized figures and use of expressive lines. His style is sometimes associated with Art Nouveau, and he was a key figure in the American "Ashcan School" movement.
