About the Item
Clearly a scene in France, the Bernard Sanders is showing us a seamstress/lacemaker. She seems to be shaping a traditional coiffe (sometimes 'coif') -- an elaborate headpiece worn by French women from the early 1820s. (The styles and constructions are unique to each locale. Those of Brittany are especially intricate and noteworthy.)
So often a mysterious or evocative atmosphere permeates the work of Sanders (1906-1967). Here the woman is seated and deeply focused on her chore. Further, it's her demeanor that's really the subject -- the calm, dedicated role she is playing in maintaining both a treasured symbol of local life and a precious object. Sanders is showing us the woman, not the object -- we can hardly see it!
Under 'medium' I've used the boarder term 'intaglio.' but most probably this is a drypoint. It is signed in pencil.

For a print that's nearly one hundred years old it feels very contemporary.
