This painting shows a single bold black arrow pointing upward. The arrow is thick at the bottom and fades into a sharp point at the top, with a small circle at its base. The background is mostly white with rough, sketchy lines in gray and gold, giving it a textured, almost messy look. The artist used a printmaking method that lets ink sit in scratched lines on a metal plate. This makes the image look both precise and rough at the same time. Look up etching to see how artists create these kinds of textures.
