About this work

This small print shows two black lines on a light background. Below them is a thin green strip at the bottom. The lines look like they’re floating, with no real shape or scene behind them. The artist used a printing method called aquatint to make the green area. It lets ink spread in soft, uneven patches. Look up etching to see how artists like this make prints with acid and metal plates.
