This print is all black and white with jagged shapes. You see a few human figures, but they’re not clear—just rough outlines. Trees and branches look twisted, like they’re bending hard. The whole thing feels busy and uneven, almost like scribbles. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on a flat stone. That’s why the lines are bold but the background stays light. Look up lithography next to see how this works.
