About this work

This print shows a simple blue shape on a light background. On the left, two tall, skinny figures stand near a building with windows. Below them, a wavy line looks like water or a path, with a few small marks that might be plants or rocks. The sky is just a few loose brushstrokes. The artist used only two colors—blue and the paper’s beige—and kept the lines rough and uneven. The figures look more like sketches than detailed drawings. Next, check out aquatint, the printing technique used here.
