Coloured Etz U/f

A portrait study rendered in etching and aquatint, depicting a figure with shoulder-length hair seen in profile. The work employs confident linear marks to define facial features and hair texture, creating volume through hatching and tonal variation. The composition balances restraint with expressive linework, the pale ground contrasting with darker passages that model form. Executed in 2020, this work reflects Niemann’s sustained practice of daily artistic engagement and his deep study of figuration.
