About this work

This print shows four oval scenes with people in them. Two women stand with men who look like soldiers. One woman holds a palm branch. Another woman has a long dress and a book. The other two scenes show men in robes, one holding a book, the other a staff. The background has small buildings and trees. The print is drawn with sharp lines and shadows. It looks like it was made by scratching into metal. The artist used this to create dark and light areas. Check out how this was made with etching.
