This black-and-white print shows three women in a dimly lit room. One woman stands near a piano, her hand resting on the keyboard as a child leans over the music. Another woman in a dark dress watches from the side, holding a sheet of paper. Heavy curtains frame a window, and a lamp sits on a small table to the right. The artist used fine lines to capture the soft folds of their clothes and the quiet moment. This print is an etching, which means the image was carved into metal and then inked. Next, look up the technique: etching.
