This print shows two figures in a dark, angular space. The person on the left sits with their hands folded, wearing a hat and a long coat. The person on the right stands, holding something small, with sharp lines and bold shapes around them. The background is full of jagged, overlapping forms in black and gold. The artist used a woodcut technique—carving into wood and printing the image. Notice how the lines are crisp and the colors are flat, with no shading. Look up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
