This print shows a giant bird made of tangled branches and wires, its wings spread wide. Two small human figures stand on its back—one standing, one crouching—while another bird floats above. The scene looks like a stormy forest, with sharp, tangled lines everywhere. The artist used a method that scratches into metal plates to create the rough, textured lines. It’s not smooth like a painting but feels almost like a sketch caught in ink. Next, check out how this was made with etching.
