About this work

This looks like a simple line drawing on a pale green background. A tall, skinny shape leans against a small square base—almost like a broom or a stick with a handle. The lines are rough and uneven, and the paper has faint scratches all over it. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on raised lines. That’s why the drawing looks a little scratchy and uneven, not perfectly smooth. Check out how etching works next.
