About this work

This drawing shows a pile of radishes. They look soft and bumpy, with some green leaves tangled around them. The whole thing is drawn in shades of gray, almost like a sketch. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch lines into the plate before printing. This makes the radishes look textured and real. Check out how etching works next—it’s how this drawing was made.
