About this work

This is a simple black line drawing of a person’s head and shoulders. The face is turned slightly to the side, with short hair and a neutral expression. The lines are smooth but confident, outlining the shape without much shading. The artist used a technique called *drypoint*—a type of etching where the lines are scratched directly into a metal plate. This method creates fine, precise marks, like the ones here. If you like this style, look up Renée Sintenis for more of her work.
