This print shows a busy waterfront scene. People and horses are gathered around a shallow pool, likely to let animals drink. In the background, a large church with two tall spires dominates the skyline, while the sky is filled with swirling, dramatic clouds. The artist used deep black lines and textures to create a sense of movement and mood. The way light and shadow play across the scene gives it a strong, almost three-dimensional feel. This technique is called *chiaroscuro*—look it up next.
