About this work

This print shows two figures lying in a grassy, wooded area. One is on their back, arms behind their head, while the other leans on their side, resting their chin on their hand. The background has tall trees and a dark, jagged mountain range. The colors are mostly black, yellow, and gray, with thick, sketchy lines. The artist used a rough, scratchy style that feels quick and raw. The figures look relaxed but also a little distant, like they’re lost in thought. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
