This print shows a person sitting on a chair in a jungle-like setting. The figure has a strong, angular face and is shirtless, with one hand resting on their knee. Tall plants with jagged leaves fill the background, and the whole scene is made of bold black lines on a light background. The artist used a single block of wood to carve the entire image, which is why the lines are so sharp and consistent. This method is called woodcut. Look up woodcut to see how artists like this one make prints from carved wood.
