About this work

This black-and-white print shows two figures in a room. One stands tall, holding a cloth, while the other kneels with a child. The shapes are sharp and angular, almost like cut-out paper. A lamp with a curved shade sits on a table to the right, and a curtain hangs behind the standing figure. The artist used thick, flat lines to create the scene, giving it a bold, graphic look. This style makes the figures and objects stand out clearly against the background. Try looking up woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
