About this work

This image shows a quiet countryside scene with a large white building in the center. Trees line a winding road, and a few people and horses are scattered around. The sky is soft, and the whole scene looks calm and orderly. The title at the bottom says *Stribling Springs*, and it’s printed using a method called lithography. The colors are muted, giving it a gentle, almost dreamy feel. Look up lithography to see how this printing technique works.
