About this work
A woman in a long coat and headscarf stands over a seated man, her arm extended as she gestures or scolds him. The man, gaunt and bearded, wears tattered clothes and sits hunched forward on a low stool, holding a broken piece of pottery against his knee. A striped cloth hangs on the wall behind them in the otherwise bare room.
Dense hatching builds a dark silhouette around the standing woman while the seated man is left in paler tones, sharpening the contrast between accuser and sufferer. Scratchy, energetic etched lines and heavy shadow convey a mood of anguish and confrontation.
