About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows a person’s back half sitting on a chair. The legs are bent, feet resting on the floor, and the back muscles and spine are drawn in sharp, precise lines. A blank square covers the face and upper body. The artist used a technique that lets them press ink onto stone, then transfer it to paper. That’s how the lines stay so clean and detailed. Look up lithography next to see how it works.
