This picture reminds me of the picture that was shown in class of the head in a can and the lady who was holding the head. This picture uses the color black to outline the womens hair, eyebrows, eyelashes,her tears, the shape of her nose, the makeup on her eyes and her lips. All of this on a whites surface. I see alot of line being used without an actual line being drawn up on the women face.
This painting out lines the women fingers and hands. Also a white tear is shown but i barely saw that because her tear is white and her face is white. you can see the outline of her neck. i really dont see emphasis in this picture or this is no kind of form in this picture.

good discussion of Black and White/ contrast adding drama to artwork and reinforcing the emotion in the image.
