This print is mostly black and white, with rough, jagged lines crisscrossing the whole surface. The shapes look like tangled, twisted forms—some dark, some lighter—with no clear faces or objects. The edges feel uneven, almost like scratched metal. The artist used a mix of thin lines and thick, smudged areas to build up texture. This technique is called *aquatint*, which lets ink spread in soft patches. Look up aquatint to see how it creates this grainy, shadowy effect.
