This drawing shows a quiet night scene. A woman sits on the ground, holding a sleeping baby. Behind her, an older man and a glowing shape float in the air. The ground is rocky, with a few plants and a small box nearby. The artist used lots of lines to show light and shadow. The woman’s face is calm, but the light around the baby glows bright. Next, look up etching to see how artists make prints like this.
