This is a black-and-white portrait of a person’s face and hands. The lines are rough and uneven, almost like scribbles. The person’s head is tilted slightly, and their hands rest on their chest. The artist used a technique where ink is pressed onto a stone, then transferred to paper—this is called lithography. Look up lithography to see how it works.
