About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a woman with one arm raised, holding a globe in her other hand. She wears a draped robe that clings to her body, showing off her muscular arms and legs. Her hair is styled in loose curls, and she stands confidently with her foot slightly forward. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, especially in her clothes and the globe. The background is mostly dark, making her stand out sharply. Look up engraving to see how artists like this one used metal plates and sharp tools to make prints.
