Head of a mule, print, printmaker: Maurits van der Valk, 1867 - 1935, paper, etching, drypoint, intaglio printmaking technique, height 147 mm x width 143 mm, mule, A close-up monochrome drawing using dense crosshatched lines forming a textured surface that suggests curved forms; a lighter area contrasts with darker hatched regions, with a prominent elongated light shape near the top center that narrows to a pointed end, surrounded by overlapping short and long hatch marks; beneath and around this shape, layered dark crosshatching creates shadowed contours and rounded shapes, with variations in line density producing gradients and rough texture across the composition.
