About this work

This black-and-white print shows a row of small houses with thatched roofs and chimneys. Trees line the street, and a plowed field stretches in the foreground. The sky is filled with wavy lines, maybe rain or wind. The artist used a mix of etching and engraving to create the detailed lines. This technique lets them add texture and depth without color.
