About this work

You see two men in a wintry landscape, looking at each other. They are standing in a quiet moment, with no action happening. The men's expressions and poses are interesting because they seem to be thinking deeply. Their faces and bodies tell us they are having a silent conversation. This conversation is happening in a simple, monochromatic background. To learn more about this kind of artwork, look into the technique: lithography.
