Noah's Ark and the Flood

About this work

This etching shows a chaotic scene of people scrambling during a flood. A woman in the center holds a child’s hand while another small child stands nearby. Two figures kneel near a large bundle, possibly supplies, while a third person leans forward in the water. In the background, more figures cling to trees or float, and a rocky shore lines the scene. The artist used sharp lines to show movement and urgency, with some figures barely holding on. The mix of calm and panic creates a strong mood.
