About this work

This looks like a faded print with barely any color left. You can see a few faint shapes—maybe trees and a house—but they’re so light and worn they’re hard to make out. The edges of the paper are yellowed, and there’s a small handwritten number in the top right corner. The print is so thin you can almost see through parts of it. It’s like someone tried to save a sketch but the ink or paint didn’t stick well. The Museum of Ethnography holds this piece, but it’s unclear what it was meant to show. If you like worn-out prints, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow for drama.
