This print is all black lines and scribbles on a white background. The marks look messy—like tangled roots or stormy waves. Some shapes almost form faces or hands, but they’re too rough to tell for sure. The artist made this by pressing ink onto stone, then rubbing it onto paper. That’s called lithography. Next, check out lithography to see how it works.
