About this work

This print shows a woman carrying a basket on her head, walking along a road. Above her, a tree stands with jagged branches against a dark, stormy sky. The lines are rough and the image feels scratchy, like it was drawn quickly. Text lists four titles in French, including "La Marchande de Chiffons" and "Petites Filles." The artist signed it "Paul Sérusier" in the corner. This style of printing—where ink is rolled onto a smooth stone—is called lithography. Look up lithography to see how it works.
