Study of a Woman, No.3 (Etude de fille III) 1929

Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac made this etching called 'Study of a Woman, No.3' using ink and a metal plate. You can really see his working process in the frantic cross-hatching. It's like he's trying to capture a fleeting thought. The marks feel raw and immediate. They build up this wonderful texture, particularly around her hair, contrasting with the smooth, blank areas. The lines are confident, but also a little nervous, like he’s trying to grasp something just out of reach. There's this one bold stroke defining the back of her neck that suggests a weight, both physical and maybe emotional. It reminds me a bit of some of Kathe Kollwitz's prints. Both artists have this incredible ability to convey deep feeling through simple, unadorned lines, capturing the essence of human experience without pretense. What do you think?
