This is a black-and-white portrait of a person with curly hair and a serious expression. The face is drawn with loose, sketchy lines, and the hair looks wild and full. The person is wearing a necklace with a small, simple pendant. The artist used a printmaking method to create this piece, which explains the grainy texture. It’s not a smooth painting but more like a detailed drawing pressed onto paper. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists use acid and metal plates to make prints.
