You see a tall, thin woodcut of a man with a beard, his hands clasped in front of him. The lines are rough and choppy, like someone carved them quickly with a knife. This print was part of a portfolio meant to show that prints could be art, not just copies. Bernard wanted to prove that even simple tools could make something strong and direct. Look up the technique of woodcut next.
