About this work

This black-and-white print shows a simple room with bold lines. On the left, a curtain or heavy fabric hangs in thick, wavy strokes. To the right, a person sits on a chair with a high back, their face blurred into a shadow. The floor has a patterned rug with crisscross shapes, and a small table holds a single object. The artist used sharp contrasts between light and dark to create depth. The lines feel almost like they’re carved, which makes sense since it’s a linoleum cut.
