A haunting drypoint print by Bernard Buffet, this work captures a tormented face rendered in the artist's characteristically stark, angular linework. The scratched, expressive quality of the drypoint medium lends the visage a raw, anguished intensity befitting its subject matter from Dante's Inferno. Deep, velvety burr marks inherent to the drypoint process amplify the sense of darkness and suffering that pervades this compelling image.
