About this work

This print shows a woman lying down in a simple room. Above her is a bright orange triangle, and two black-and-white animals sit on the walls. The walls are covered in bold patterns—one looks like woven fabric, the other like stylized leaves. The floor has a green-and-white checkered design, and the word "SUZANA" is written in big letters at the bottom. The artist used sharp lines and strong contrasts between black, white, and color. The animals on the walls look like they’re peeking out from behind the patterns, almost like secret watchers. If you like this style, look up woodcut to see how artists carve images into wood.
