Description

This one-color block print depicts an underwater scene with a mermaid, a man and other aquatic life surrounding it. It's a woodcut. The figures themselves are more stylized than realistic with bold lines and blocky facial features. This woodcut uses positive and negative space to create texture, dimension and chatter to its advantage.
