Young Woman Sitting near a Tree

About this work

This print shows a woman sitting in profile, dressed in a dark, flowing gown with a high collar. Behind her, a large tree with thick branches fills the background, while a smaller figure stands to her left, also in silhouette. The woman holds a fan in one hand and rests her other hand on her lap. The artist used bold black lines and shading to create depth, focusing on contrasts between light and dark. This style was common in early lithographs, where ink and stone textures played a big role. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
