THE ARTWORK
A woman’s face emerges from a pale yellow background in this lithograph by Ernesto Treccani. Dark lines define eyes and hair, accompanied by green accents and vivid red below.
The figure is not enclosed in a uniform contour: some marks grow denser, others let the background emerge. This alternation makes the portrait light and fluid, inviting attention to both expression and the free course of the line.
