This drawing shows a person lying down, curled up slightly. Their head rests on one hand, and their body blends softly into the dark background. The lines are smooth and smudged, almost like shadows. The artist used a simple black-and-white style to focus on shapes and light. This was made as a lithograph, which means it was drawn on stone and printed. Check out more about lithography to see how this process works.
