About this work

This black-and-white print shows a woman in a dark dress leaning over a man lying on a bed. She holds a knife in one hand and a book or papers in the other. The room looks simple, with a brick wall and a curtain in the background. The man on the bed is shirtless, his face turned away. The artist used thick, dark lines to create shapes and shadows, giving it a rough, textured look. This style makes the scene feel urgent and dramatic. Check out engraving to see how this technique works.
