About this work

This is a close-up portrait of an older man with deep wrinkles and dark hair. He’s wearing a dark jacket, and his face is lit from one side, leaving the other half in shadow. The lines on his face are sharp and detailed, almost like carving. The artist used a woodcut technique, which means the image was carved into wood and then printed. This makes the lines look bold and slightly rough. Look up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
