About this work

This print shows a group of twelve figures standing in a field of tall grass. Some wear long dresses, others hats or headscarves. The lines are rough and scratchy, almost like they were carved into wood. A few figures look back over their shoulders, while others face forward. The artist signed it in the corner with the year 1954. The texture of the grass and clothes makes it feel like you could almost run your fingers over it. Look up woodcut next to see how this scratchy style works.
