This print shows a dense forest with tall, thin trees stretching up the page. The branches twist and overlap, creating a dark, tangled canopy. Below, the ground is dotted with small shapes—maybe animals or people—lost in the shadows. The artist used only black lines and shading to build depth, making the trees look almost three-dimensional. The way light fades into shadow here is subtle but clear. Next, check out sfumato to see how artists use soft transitions between light and dark.
