About this work

This print shows a person sitting on a bench, looking down at their hands. Behind them, a window frame divides the scene into three tall sections. Outside, rough, dark shapes fill the sky and ground, while the bench and person are in stark black and white. The artist used bold contrasts between light and dark areas to create a striking image. The window’s grid-like pattern adds a geometric feel to the scene. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
