This print shows a face split down the middle. One side is a rough, greenish shape with jagged lines, while the other side is smoother, with pink and black swirls. The eyes stare straight out, but the mouth looks like it’s screaming. The artist used blocks of color and sharp edges to make the two sides feel very different. The paper has a soft teal border, almost like a frame. Try looking up woodcut to see how this print was made.
