About this work

This print shows a quiet pond surrounded by dense trees and bushes. Two ducks float near the shore, one resting while the other faces the water. The scene is dark and moody, with deep shadows and rough textures in the foliage. The artist used a scratchy, layered style to build up the details, giving the trees a wild, almost tangled look. This print was made using a method that lets artists draw directly onto a stone. Check out lithography to see how this technique works.
