About this work

This black-and-white print shows two hands clasped together, wrapped in what looks like bandages or cloth. Behind them, a building with a cross on top rises, its windows and roofline sharp but slightly blurred. The texture of the hands and fabric is rough, almost like carved wood. The artist used a method called *aquatint* to create smooth tones in the shadows. This makes the bandages look soft while keeping the hands’ lines crisp. Try looking up *etching* next to see how artists use acid and metal plates to make prints.
