This image shows a person’s face and shoulders in profile, looking slightly downward. Their hair is drawn in bold, swirling lines, and the background is a mix of dark, uneven shapes. The figure’s hands rest on their lap, with fingers slightly spread. The artist used a scratchy, textured style that makes the image feel almost like a sketch. The light orange paper adds warmth to the black-and-white tones. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
