About this work

This black-and-white print shows a lone figure walking along a waterfront at night. The background is dark buildings with a few lit windows, and a big ship sits docked under a network of crisscrossing cables and a bridge. The artist used sharp lines and deep shadows to create a moody, quiet scene. The print’s rough texture comes from the drypoint technique—scratching lines directly into a metal plate. This method leaves a gritty, almost sketchy look, like a pencil drawing but with more intensity. Check out drypoint to see how artists create prints this way.
