DescriptionThe print is a figurative depiction of a woman in the rain. The woman is the artist's wife, Ada Katz. She wears a red-and-white printed hair scarf over her head, and is covered in a black trench coat. She also holds a light blue umbrella in her hand to shield her from the rain coming down, and looks out into the distance, beyond the picture plane.
