12 Rue Jacob 1986

Jim Dine's 1986 lithograph, "12 Rue Jacob", is a striking portrait of a woman rendered in charcoal and white chalk. The subject appears in profile, looking out at the viewer with an air of introspection. The use of black and white evokes a sense of realism and depth, while the loose lines and expressive hatching contribute to a sense of immediacy. The background is dark and indistinct, creating a sense of intimacy and isolation for the sitter. Dine's work is often characterized by a focus on personal themes, and this print reflects his interest in depicting the human form.
