This black-and-white print shows two men walking a dog in a village. One man wears a hat and carries a stick, while the other walks beside him. Behind them is a simple house with a thatched roof and a woman looking out the window. A dog lies on the ground near the house, and a tree with full branches stands nearby. The artist used a woodcut technique, where the image is carved into wood and then inked. This creates the bold, flat lines and deep shadows you see here. Look up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
