This drawing shows a close-up of a person’s face and hands. The face is mostly dark, with just the hair and forehead faintly visible. The hands are in the center, fingers slightly curled, resting against the dark background. The artist used soft lines to create a gentle, almost ghostly effect. The hands look relaxed, as if the person is deep in thought. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
