About this work

This print shows a fierce animal head facing forward, with big curved horns and a wide mouth. The fur is dark, but the face is highlighted in gold, making it stand out. The background is mostly black and white, with rough, sketchy lines around the edges. The title *Inner Beast* hints this might be about hidden strength or wildness. The gold face pops against the dark background, like a spotlight. Next, look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
