This black-and-white drawing shows a person floating upside-down over choppy water. Their arms stretch out wide, legs bent, like they’re weightless. The waves below are detailed, almost like a stormy sea, while the sky above is flat and pale. The artist used a smooth, clean line to make the body look simple but oddly balanced. The print looks like it was made with a press, not a brush. Check out how this was made with lithography.
