About this work

This print shows a person in profile, wearing bright blue sunglasses and a dark headscarf. Their face is lightly sketched, but the background is rough and textured with brown and orange shapes. The edges of the paper are uneven, like it was cut by hand. The title isn’t given, but the artist signed it in the corner. The mix of smooth lines and rough textures makes it feel a little unfinished. Look up etching to see how artists like this use acid and metal plates to create prints.
