This is a 2002 etching plate by Stephen Conroy. It shows a man’s head and shoulders from an unusual angle—looking up. The plate is part of a group donated by the printer Marc Balakjian. Conroy often works with Balakjian at Studio Prints. His prints use Old Master ideas but feel fresh. The awkward pose makes you pause. Look up the technique called drypoint next.
