This print shows a winding river with a small town in the distance, surrounded by hills. Three people stand under a large tree in the foreground, talking. The scene is packed with tiny details: boats on the water, houses along the shore, and a castle on a rocky outcrop. The sky is light, with a few clouds and a distant glow. The title *Euntes in Emaus* hints this might be a biblical story—likely two disciples meeting Jesus after his resurrection. The artist used fine lines to capture every leaf, boat, and building. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this made sharp, detailed prints.
