Answer:
This piece is an example of silverpoint. The values in a silverpoint work are created by using a thin wire that is held by a cylinder-shaped holder. The artist must slowly build up scratches overtime, in order to created darker values. The greater the etching or scratching, the darker the value. This medium is challenging because it cannot be erased and it takes a long time.
