This black-and-white print shows a room with two people inside. One person stands holding a small child, while another lies on the floor nearby. A painting hangs crookedly on the wall, and a boat floats outside a window. The lines are rough and uneven, with lots of shading. The artist used a printmaking method that lets ink sit in grooves to create texture. This makes the image look both dark and slightly fuzzy. Look up etching to see how artists carve into metal plates to make prints.
