About this work

This black-and-white print shows a woman standing with her arms crossed. She’s wearing a loose dress that drapes down to her knees, and her hair is pulled back but a few curls escape. The background looks like a rough, textured wall or curtain, with some faint lines and dots. The artist used shading and lines to give her face a soft but strong look. The way the dress folds shows careful attention to how fabric moves. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
