About this work

This print shows a dark, shadowy figure sitting on a bench. The person’s face is blurred, but you can see their hands resting on their knees. Behind them, a faint shape of another person or object floats in the background. The artist used a scratchy, rough style that makes the whole scene feel uneven. The title isn’t given, but the medium is woodcut—a printmaking technique. Check out more about woodcut to see how artists carve images into wood.
