About this work

This print shows two leopards lying close together. Their spots are dark and sharp against a lighter background. One is curled up, facing away, while the other looks slightly toward you. The lines are drawn with a scratchy, textured style that makes the fur look rough. The artist used a printing method called drypoint, where lines are carved into a metal plate to create the image. This technique gives the work its grainy, almost sketchy feel. Look up drypoint next to see how it works.
