This print shows a black and white pattern of wavy lines filling the whole square. Over it, four thin white rectangles lean at angles, creating empty shapes. The edges of the paper are rough, and the whole thing looks handmade. The artist used a woodcut method—chopping shapes into wood and pressing ink. That’s why the lines are so crisp and the background looks textured. Next, check out woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
