Born in Houston, Texas, Shirley Moskowitz (1920–2007) was a highly accomplished painter, printmaker, and sculptor whose career spanned over six decades. She studied at Rice University and Oberlin College, and her diverse body of work was exhibited throughout the United States and Europe.
The piece is presented in its original black and gold wooden frame under glass. It exhibits good vintage condition consistent with age. There is mild toning on the paper mat board, along with a few minor surface blemishes and faint foxing marks on the margins away from the main print block. See less
