About this work

This print shows a tall, shadowy figure with a glowing green face and dark hair. The body is made of rough, white lines that look like they’re carved into the surface. The figure’s hands hang loosely at the sides, and there’s a dark shape at the waist—maybe a belt or a hole. The texture looks like it was pressed or stamped, not painted. That’s because this is a lithograph, a printmaking method where the artist draws on a flat stone or plate. Look up lithography to see how it works.
