About this work

This strange print shows a crowd of skinny, lanky people in odd poses. Their arms stretch long. Their legs bend the wrong way. Bracelli made these shapes to show off his skill with a needle. He scratched lines into metal plates. Then ink filled the lines to print the image. Look for more of his prints at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
