Self-Portrait, Jane Wilson, lithograph
This image is created with black ink on ecru paper. The etching was created with a heavily inked plate, and portions of the image are very dark. It represents a street corner with pedestrian groups and vehicles scattered throughout the foreground and middle ground. To the right of the street are Four buildings. Closest to the right edge is a low building with three windows with three vehicles in front. Next to that building is a large building with two towers and a domed roof in the center. Behind that building are two additional three story buildings. The sky is swirled with lines, and two indistinct buildings also rise in the distant background at the end of the street.
