This print shows a chaotic scene with a woman running through a stormy landscape. Dark clouds swirl around her, and jagged trees loom in the background. The ground looks rough, with swirling lines that suggest wind and movement. The woman’s dress flutters as she climbs a ladder made from her own torn fabric. This detail hints at her desperate escape—she’s lowering herself from a high window. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Buhot used this technique to create dramatic textures.
