Titled "Thais", black & white etching of a statuesque African-American female nude, lounging at the window with blinds closed. Pencil signed indistinctly. Likely Mid-20th Century.

There is also a Christian saint by the name of Thais, a reformed prostitute. Overall size: 12 x 13 1/2 in. Image size: 7 x 8 in.
