About this work

This drawing shows a simple figure standing still. The person wears a hooded coat, holding a bundle of sticks. Behind them, a small house sits on a flat, empty landscape with a tall, thin tree and a curved shape on the ground. The lines are rough and uneven, like they were scratched into the surface. This makes the whole scene feel a little off-kilter. Next, check out etching to see how artists create prints like this.
