Farm

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a quiet countryside scene. A winding road cuts through a village of small houses with pointed roofs. Trees line both sides of the road, and a few people walk or ride horses along the path. The sky is filled with wispy clouds, and the ground looks muddy, like after rain. The artist used fine lines to show details like the texture of the trees and the folds in the clothes. This kind of print was made by scratching into metal plates—a method called etching. Next, look up technique: etching to see how artists create prints like this.
