Alex Katz's *Maria I* is a striking etching and aquatint in colors on wove paper, showcasing the artist's signature style of bold simplicity and refined elegance. The work captures a female portrait with Katz's characteristic flat, graphic planes of color and clean, confident lines that reduce the subject to her most essential and captivating features. Printed on the full sheet, the composition reflects Katz's seamless translation of his painterly aesthetic into the printmaking medium.
