This picture shows a dark, swirling scene with people on the ground. One figure above them has wings and a scary face. Below, three people are huddled under a heavy cross. The sky looks stormy, with wild lines and shadows. The artist used lines to create the drama—lots of them packed close together. This makes the scene feel heavy and intense. Next, look up engraving to see how artists use lines like this.
