This black-and-white print shows a forest scene with two people under a big tree. One person is sitting on a rock, looking down. The other stands nearby, leaning on a stick. The trees are thick and full of leaves, and the ground has rocks and bushes. The artist used shading to make the scene feel three-dimensional. The standing figure looks tired or sad, while the seated one seems lost in thought. Look up Baroque next to see how this style shaped art.
