Waiting for Death

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a lone horse standing still in a field. The ground is rough, with ferns and rocks scattered around. Behind the horse, a stone wall runs along a hillside dotted with trees and a distant building. The artist didn’t finish this work before he died. The print was meant to be part of a series, layered with extra details. Look up engraving to see how artists like this carved images into wood.
