This object is a postcard titled "False Image Postcard," created by the American artist Christina Ramberg in 1968. It is executed as an offset lithograph on card and measures 9 by 14 cm (3 9/16 by 5 9/16 inches). The artwork originated in the United States and is formally cataloged under prints and drawings.
The horizontal rectangular card features a graphic printed composition framed by a thin dark border within the card's margins. The central imagery is divided into two adjacent panels against a dotted screen background. On the left side, a stylized hand with pale skin and dark-outlined fingers touches or covers a mass of voluminous, wavy hair rendered in black and blue tones. The right panel depicts the back of a smooth, rounded head above a thick collar or mass of hair rendered in matching black and blue textures.
