About this work

This black-and-white print shows three women huddled together under large hats. One holds a folded paper close to her face, while the others lean in, their expressions serious. The lines are scratchy and textured, giving it a rough, hand-drawn feel. The title *Notizie del mondo* means "News of the World," suggesting they might be sharing gossip or a letter. The artist used a technique that creates deep shadows and fine details. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this make prints.
