This scene shows two men in robes walking away from a wounded person lying on the ground. A river runs nearby, with rocks, trees, and distant buildings in the background. The lines are sharp and detailed, creating a sense of depth and texture. The artist used shading to show light and shadow, making the figures and landscape stand out. This is a story about people ignoring someone in need. Next, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed images like this one.
