About this work

This sketch shows a tall, dark figure standing against a plain background. The person’s face is blurred, and their body is drawn in loose, quick lines. To the right, a small dog sits, looking up. The words *"Album de la Revue Blanche"* are written in jagged, uneven letters around the figure. The drawing feels sketchy and unfinished, like it was made fast. The artist used a technique that lets ink sit on the surface of a stone before pressing it onto paper. Look up lithography next to see how this print was made.
