This blurry black-and-white image shows a person bent over, their back to us, wearing a dark hat. They’re in a room with a window covered by heavy curtains. The floor looks like wood, and there’s a small table with a box on it near their feet. The photo is grainy, almost like an old snapshot, but it’s actually a print made from a metal plate. The artist used a technique that lets them carve lines into the plate to create the image. Look up etching to see how artists like this make prints from metal.
