About this work

This image shows a black-and-white scene of a room at night. A person sits in a chair, playing a guitar. Behind them, a window frames a dark night with a few bare branches. On a table, a hat lies folded neatly. The stark contrast and simple shapes make the scene feel quiet and focused. The artist used a technique that cuts shapes into wood, then inks them. Look up woodcut to see how this print was made.
