About this work

This image shows a black-and-white design of a fancy collar. The collar is covered in flowers, leaves, and swirly patterns. Tiny lines create the details, making the petals and stems look real. The artist used a tool to carve these lines into the paper. This method is called engraving. Look up engraving to see how artists make detailed prints like this.
