Observations
The style uses intensely cropped, expressive portraiture with strongly modelled faces, dramatic shadow, and a tactile engraved or woodcut-like surface. Dense crosshatching and ink-like linework dominate the monochrome lower imagery, while the upper imagery adds restrained earthy color without losing the high-contrast, sculptural treatment.
