This black-and-white print shows a simple, squat figure sitting with its knees up. The body looks like it’s made of thick, rough shapes—no smooth lines. One arm rests on the knee, and the head tilts slightly, with a small circle for an eye. The whole image is dark, with only a few light spots breaking up the shadows. The artist used a printing method called *mezzotint*, which creates deep, grainy textures. This piece feels almost like a sketch carved into metal instead of drawn on paper. Look up Elizabeth Murray to see how she played with shapes and space in her work.
