This print shows a city skyline across a river, with a big castle-like building in the center. Small boats float on the water below. Around the edges, there are tiny sketches of people, ships, and buildings—almost like a border full of quick drawings. The artist used lots of different techniques to create texture, like scratching into the plate and adding layers of ink. The whole thing looks a little faded but still full of detail. Next, look up etching to see how artists make these kinds of prints.
