About this work

This sketch shows a close-up of a person’s head, drawn in loose, quick lines. The hair is messy, the face is pale, and the eyes stare straight ahead with a serious look. The background is plain and blurry, keeping all focus on the face. The drawing is made using a technique where the artist scratches into a metal plate to create lines—this is called drypoint. It’s rough and sketchy, not polished. Next, check out Edvard Munch, the artist who made this.
