This painting shows two dark, blobby shapes standing side by side on a pale background. The colors are mostly deep red and black, with some lighter spots. The edges are rough, like the paint was wiped or smudged while it was still wet. The artist used a printmaking method where ink is pressed onto paper through a stone or metal plate. This makes the lines look slightly fuzzy and uneven. Next, look up lithography to see how this technique works.
