About this work

This print shows a woman’s back and side, leaning forward with one arm resting on a curved surface. Her hair falls loosely, and the light hits her skin and the smooth, rounded shape beside her. The background is dark, making her form stand out sharply. The artist used a mix of shading and line to create depth, focusing on light and shadow. The texture of the print suggests it was made with a metal plate and acid, a process called aquatint. Next, check out Lisa Yuskavage for more of her striking, intimate works.
