About this work

This black-and-white print shows a woman curled up asleep in a chair. Behind her, a window frames a sailboat on the water. The lines are rough and textured, almost like scratching into the paper. The artist used a technique that makes the lines look hand-drawn and uneven. It’s not a smooth print—it feels raw, like a sketch that was pressed into paper. If you like this style, look up etching to see how it works.
