Technically and formally, the work is characterized by the following:
Technique: It is an intaglio print (engraved in relief) made with combined techniques such as etching or drypoint on a metal plate, achieving a deep contrast with cross-hatched textures.
Artist’s Proof: The handwritten inscription "P.A." in the lower left margin indicates that this is an Artist’s Proof, i.e., one of the prints reserved for the author outside the standard numbered edition.
