Flower Print no.7

About this work

This image shows six large flowers with thick petals and long stems, drawn in black lines on a light background. Below them is a narrow scene of people walking, talking, and tending to small animals near a body of water. The flowers are detailed, with leaves and buds, while the lower scene has simple figures in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used a method called etching to create these sharp lines. This means they scratched into a metal plate covered in wax, then dipped it in acid to eat away the lines. Look up etching to see how this technique works.
