About this work

You see a man and woman in a simple lithograph. They are shown from the waist up. The woman wears a low-necked dress and the man is in a dark suit. The way they look at each other is interesting. Their expressions show a quiet moment between them. This artwork is an example of work done using a technique called lithography.
