About this work

You're looking at a black-and-white engraving of a woman in the woods. She's nude, standing with her left hand on her head and her right hand on her hip. The background is full of trees and plants. The woman is drawn in bold lines, with lots of cross-hatching to create shadows. Her body is curvy and relaxed, and her face is calm. The trees around her are tall and thin, with lots of leaves. This style of engraving is really interesting. If you want to learn more about it, check out the technique of cross-hatching.
