About this work

Leon Kossoff made this etching in 1988–9. It shows his usual focus: people and city life. The print is small but full of quick, scratchy lines. Kossoff worked his plates over and over. He kept changing the design even after prints were done. He also made etchings after Old Master paintings to study their lines. Look up another artist who loved deep shadows and dark tones like Kossoff.
