The Spring

About this work

This print shows a busy scene of people dancing and celebrating under a leafy tree. The background has ships on water and a sky full of swirling lines. Some figures hold hands, others wave, and one person plays a flute while others clap. The artist used bold black lines against a white space to create a lively, almost carved look. The mix of movement and stillness gives it energy. Look up Bernard Essers to see more of his woodcut prints.
