You see a black-and-white etching with scribbly pencil marks added by hand—like someone doodled over a printed page. Holstein made this in 1970, when most artists were chasing big, bold statements. Instead, he kept it small and quiet, almost like a private note. The pencil lines feel loose, as if he changed his mind mid-draw. If you like the mix of print and sketch, look up the technique etching.
