DescriptionInk drawing on a square, white handkerchief. At the top of the drawing are the words "Piensando En Ti" in an elaborate script. In the background is a brick wall with a barred window. Throught the wall can be seen the face of a man which is very large in proportion to the wall. In front of the wall is a woman. She is wearing minimal clothing, so her stomach and legs are exposed. In front of her are two open scrolls and a wine glass. The scroll on the left reads, "Someday Will Be Together", and the right one says, "Smile Now Cry Later", both in cursive script. Behind the woman are various images, including: flowers, a bird, a clock, a spiderweb, roses and what appear to be bubbles.On View
