Young Woman Seated in a Garden

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a woman sitting on a bench in a garden. She’s holding a bunch of flowers in one hand and resting her chin on the other. Behind her, tall plants and vines fill the background, with a few leaves spilling over the edges. The artist carved this image into wood, a method that creates bold, simple lines. The thick outlines and lack of shading make the scene feel flat but striking. Next, check out the technique: woodcut to see how artists like this one made prints.
