Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A semi-abstract linocut depicting multiple nude female figures in an interior living space. In the bottom foreground is a reclining nude female figure. Above and behind this figure is the back view of another nude figure, likely the reflection of the first. To the left is foliage and an urn with fruit or flowers, part of which appears repeated between the two reclining figures. In the bottom right foreground is another partial figure of a nude figure, this one upright. At the top center of the background is a black orb surrounded by concentric circles of dashed lines, like a reflected light. At the top right side of the background there are two birds facing each other and another plant on top of a television. Along the right edge of the print there is an object sitting on top of a table.
