About this work

This picture shows a dark, starry night sky with three ghostly faces floating in it. The faces are pale and simple, almost like shadows. Two are small, and one is bigger, with a halo of light around its head. The artist used a mix of smooth and rough lines to create this eerie feel. The faces look like they’re peeking out from the darkness, as if they’re watching something unseen. If you like this style, check out more about lithography.
