A bold linocut relief print of a single moth at rest, two wings spread above a curled body on a bare twig. Stark black and one dusky ink are printed over a warm paper tone, with deep shadow areas left as solid carved blocks. The heavy gouge lines and moody, gothic atmosphere give this piece a striking graphic presence, equally at home framed alone or grouped with other relief prints.
