Description:
Visual description (Claude, March 24, 2025, edited for content): This vertical print is a head and shoulders portrait of a middle-aged woman against a black background. Her head is tilted slightly downward, her long hair combed back from her forehead. She wears a dark dress and a dark blue shawl over her shoulders. Dramatic shadows across the woman’s face, downcast eyes, and prominent cheekbones suggest the person’s physical suffering. (Voice: Amy Zheng '26, April 25, 2025)
