notes: label: Description
content: This chiaroscuro woodcut was made from three blocks: one with the image in outline and two tone blocks, one printed lighter and one darker. (Chiaroscuro in Italian means ‘ lightdark.’) The process was intended to reproduce the effects of Renaissance drawings on toned paper with highlights or brush and wash drawings on white paper with highlights left bare.
