Adela Caballero (March 15, 1930)

The work refers to Carlota Ferreira (31 January 1838 – c. 1912)
"...was an Uruguayan woman who led a turbulent life of scandal and romance. She was immortalized by Juan Manuel Blanes's 1883 portrait of her likeness, which became an icon of Uruguayan art."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlota_Ferreira

This one is of the monthly prints by the Club de Grabado de Montevideo (CGM)

Club de Grabado de Montevideo (Engraving Club of Montevideo) was a non-profit Uruguayan cultural institution dedicated to the production and promotion of engraving. Created in 1953 in Montevideo, it developed 50 years of activity. (Wikipedia)
