Still Life With Figure is a 1930 ink by Emil Ganso, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a black-and-white wood engraving of a tangled still life. A bottle labeled "Pon Bare B" leans against a pile of clothes and a hat. A shoe, a bowl, and a spoon lie scattered around, all twisted into sharp angles. The lines are thick and crisscrossed, making everything look stiff and jumbled. The artist packed every inch with tiny, repeating lines to create shadows and texture. It’s like the whole scene is made of overlapping wires. Look up engraving to see how artists carve images into wood like this.
