This is a black-and-white woodcut of a woman’s face and shoulders. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a necklace with round beads. The background has rough, jagged shapes that look like trees or branches. The lines are bold and uneven, giving it a raw, handmade feel. The artist used simple shapes and thick black ink to create strong contrasts. The style feels bold and a little rough, almost like a sketch carved into wood. Next, check out woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
