This print shows a quiet forest scene with three people walking along a dirt path. One person is leading a horse, while the others follow behind. Tall trees with thick branches fill the background, and a small stream runs through the scene. The artist used only black and white to create deep shadows and textures, making the trees and figures stand out. This style was common in Dutch prints of the time. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
