About this work

This painting shows a simple black shape on a white background. It looks like a head with two round spots for ears and a spiky line for hair. The whole thing is just black ink, no details inside. The artist made this using a woodcut technique—carving into wood and printing it. It’s part of a set of 22 similar prints. Check out woodcut to see how this kind of printmaking works.
