This print shows a big, shadowy figure in black and white. The person is hunched over, wearing a coat with a round badge on the chest. Their hands are tucked away, and the background looks like a rough, textured field with some faint buildings far off. The artist carved this image into linoleum, then printed it. The dark shapes stand out against the lighter, scratchy background. It feels like the figure is caught in motion, even though it’s still.
