This print shows two men in a rocky, wooded landscape. One sits on a log, the other stands nearby with his hand raised. The trees are thick and dark, with jagged lines for leaves. A river winds through the background, and the sky is faint but visible above the trees. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to show texture—like scratching into the stone. The scene feels rough and real, not polished. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
