About this work

This print shows a river with a stone bridge and arches. On the water, there’s a floating house with a green roof. The buildings on the right are tall and boxy, with simple windows. Two people walk along a path near the water’s edge. Trees line the left side, bare except for a few branches. The artist used bold black lines and flat colors, like a woodcut. The scene feels both busy and calm at once. Look up linoleum cut next to see how this technique works.
