Description
Etched bookplate on textured, gray paper, in black ink, made for Mary Alice Ercolini. The paper features streaks of red and beige. It depicts three women in Japanese dress. Two are kneeling at a table and another enters the room. There is a cat curled up on the table, and outside a blossoming tree. In the bottom left corner, below the scene, is a small, potted plant, perhaps bamboo.
