About this work

This black-and-white print shows a simple rural scene. A man in a hat walks toward a woman who’s milking a cow under a tree. Behind them are two small houses with sloped roofs, and a dog sits near the door of one. The artist used bold lines to sketch the trees, buildings, and people. The rough, textured look comes from the way it was carved into wood—this is a woodcut. The artist’s signature is in the corner, but no other details are visible. Want to see more work like this?
