You see jagged black shapes on raw wood—sheep, a star, and a few lines that could be hills or a barn. This was a test print for a Christmas card. Frasconi carved each shape separately, then moved them around like puzzle pieces until they felt right. The rough edges and visible glue show it’s a work in progress, not a finished piece. Look up the technique: woodcut.
