Label TextSloan was pleased with this print as he successfully met the challenge of capturing the sculptural qualities of the model and studio props without the benefit of a palette of colors. On close examination, the hatching, biting, and inking all effectively support the lighting and perspective needed to create the convincing illusions of texture and three dimensions in two-dimensional media.
