Etching from the series "The Face" 1924

This etching, created in 1924 by Walter Gramatté, is part of his series "The Face," showcasing the artist's distinctive style. The piece depicts a close-up portrait rendered in stark lines and hatched shading, capturing the subject's intense gaze and furrowed brow. The background, subtly suggesting a seascape with abstract clouds, adds a sense of depth and unease. This artwork, created during Gramatté's brief but prolific career, exemplifies his mastery of printmaking and his exploration of human expression.
