About this work

You see two people in a quiet moment together. One is lying in bed, and the other is standing nearby. This scene is interesting because it shows a personal connection between the two people, and it's a common theme in everyday life. The person standing is looking at the one in bed with care. This makes you think about the relationship between them. To learn more about this kind of scene, look into the technique: lithography.
