This drawing shows a big, round head with wide eyes peeking out from under a black hat. The background looks like tangled branches or bushes, and the whole image is in black and white. The hat covers the face except for the eyes, which stare right at you. The artist used a mix of drawing and cut-out shapes to make this strange, dreamy look. It’s not a realistic portrait—it’s more like a weird, floating face. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like this made prints.
