The etching portrays a figure with striking curls, emphasized through bold strokes of red and violet. The sideways, slightly dismissive glance adds a humorous touch that resonates with the playful title. With a raised middle finger pointing toward the shoulder, the gesture balances between self-assertion and subtle critique. While the face is rendered with fine, precise lines, the expressive brushwork in the hair introduces movement. The hazy background enhances the sense of detachment, leaving the figure suspended between irony, poise, and quiet wit.

It is part of a series of 12 individual works.

About Etching

Originating in medieval Europe, etching became one of the most important printmaking techniques of the old masters. Using acid to bite designs into metal plates, artists achieved remarkable detail and expression.
