Titled 'Eva' by the artist, the medium of this work lends a certain mysterious quality to the portrait. Depicting the face of a girl, the engraving shows a shadowy figure in the background who's face is portrayed with the typical features of traditional Christian art, hinting at a religious or spiritual undertone to this fascinating piece.
