This print shows a man with a simple expression. He's dressed in old clothes and has a gentle face. The artist used a technique inspired by folk art, which is interesting because it was a way for artists to connect with traditional Russian culture. The use of folk art techniques was a way for artists to simplify their work and focus on basic forms. This approach was influenced by the "lubki" woodcuts that were popular in Russia. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Mayakovsky, Vladimir (1893-1930)
