About this work

The bottom right has a few handwritten notes: a date circled as "30/1/1957," some measurements, and a small yellowish stain near the corner.

This is a faded, empty piece of paper with light brown edges. In the top left corner, someone wrote "Țigăncușă" in red ink, with a small "(țigancă)" added below. The bottom right has a few handwritten notes: a date circled as "30/1/1957," some measurements, and a small yellowish stain near the corner. The paper looks old and slightly worn, with a few smudges and creases.

The notes suggest this was once part of a catalog or record for a print. The title hints at a woman with green eyes, but the actual image is missing—just blank space.

Look up Museum of Ethnography to see what else they hold.
