About this work

This drawing shows two young kids sitting close together in a round frame. The older child holds a stuffed animal, while the younger one waves a hand. Their clothes look soft and old-fashioned, with lots of folds and fabric. The artist used a sharp tool to carve lines into wood, creating the whole image. The dark background makes the kids stand out clearly. Want to see more wood engravings? Try looking up engraving.
