This print shows four stretched-out bodies in warm brown tones. They’re scattered across a light background, some lying flat, one standing on one leg. The paint looks rough, almost like it was scraped on. Small bits of white peek through in spots. The artist used a method where ink is rolled onto a flat stone, then pressed onto paper. That’s why the lines look uneven in places. Check out how lithography works next.
