Vertigo (Le vertige)

About this work

This sketch shows two figures in a wild, tangled scene. One person leans back dramatically, arms outstretched, while another crouches below, holding a staff. The background is a mess of swirling lines—trees, wind, or maybe chaos. Everything looks unstable, like the whole image could tip over. The artist used sharp, scratchy lines to create a sense of movement and unease. The figures seem caught in a moment of panic or vertigo, fitting the title *Vertigo*. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one carve into metal plates to make prints.
