This image shows a black-and-white print with odd shapes. There’s a face in the middle, but it’s made of circles and lines instead of normal features. Around it are big, blobby forms that don’t look like anything real. The background has a grid of squares and rectangles, some filled with crosshatching. The artist signed it in the corner, but the shapes are hard to place. It looks like a sketchy, rough print—maybe made by pressing ink into a metal plate. Try looking up etching to see how this kind of print works.
