The artist is creating an intaglio print using the technique known as engraving. In this process, the needle etches the design into the metal plate, and the areas that are cut into the plate hold ink, allowing for detailed and precise images to be transferred onto paper. The acid-resistant varnish protects the unetched areas from the acid used in the etching process, ensuring that only the engraved lines retain ink for printing.
