About this work

This sketch shows a woman with her arms raised, tangled in what looks like vines or branches. The lines are rough and uneven, almost like they were drawn in a hurry. Her face is blurred, and the whole scene feels chaotic and tangled. The artist used a technique called etching to create this piece, where lines are scratched into a metal plate. The paper is plain and the image is only in black, making the lines stand out sharply. If you like this style, check out more works by artist: Gramatté, Walter.
