About this work

This print shows a chaotic city scene at night. Buildings lean and twist, their windows glowing faintly. A train tracks down the middle, but the train itself is just a dark shape. The sky is stormy, with jagged lines and swirling clouds. In the foreground, a woman in a long coat stands with her back to us, holding a small dog. The artist used sharp, rough lines to create a sense of unease. The print looks like it was carved into wood, then inked and pressed. Check out how this woodcut technique works.
