About this work

This print shows a face cut from brown paper. The head is framed by two rough, torn strips of paper—one on the left, one on the right. The eyes are big and dark, the nose straight, and the mouth small. The edges look hand-cut, not clean. The artist added ink lines to the face and background. The paper has a rough, uneven look, like it was torn from something bigger. The whole thing sits on a plain white background. Want to know more? Try looking up lithography.
