Female Figure

About this work

This is a black-and-white design with lots of swirly lines and shapes. A woman stands in the middle, holding a fan and a basket of fruit. Around her are birds, flowers, and fancy scrolls. The whole thing looks like it’s framed in a wavy border. The artist used tiny lines to build up dark areas—like shading with dots and strokes. This was a common trick back then. Try looking up engraving to see how artists created these kinds of prints.
