About this work

This black-and-white print shows a person wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a high collar. Their face is simple, with strong lines for the eyes and mouth. The background is a plain oval shape, making the face stand out. The artist used tiny parallel lines to build up dark and light areas—this is called cross-hatching. It gives the print a textured, almost sculpted look. Check out how cross-hatching works up close.
