About this work

This is a black-and-white print of a woman’s face and shoulders. Her hair is shown in thick, swirling lines, and her expression is serious. The fabric around her neck has sharp, angular folds, and the background is mostly dark with some lighter streaks. The artist used a method where ink is pressed into carved wood to make the print. This creates bold, rough edges and strong contrasts. Try looking up woodcut to see how this technique works.
