About this work

This is a black-and-white print of a woman’s face and shoulders. She’s holding a bouquet of flowers, mostly white with some green stems. Her hair is loose, and she wears a fur wrap around her neck. The background is dark and blurry, so you can’t see much else. The artist used a technique that layers ink to create soft shadows and texture. The flowers look delicate, but the fur wrap is thick and fuzzy. Look up etching to see how artists like this make detailed prints.
