This print shows bold black shapes stacked unevenly, with a deep red oval in the middle. The dark lines feel sharp and jagged, while the red area looks softer, almost like a shadow. The whole thing sits on a light background, with the artist’s name signed in the corner. The rough texture suggests it was carved into wood, not painted. That’s a woodcut—ink pressed into grooves.
