About this work

You see a chaotic scene with animals and trees in this etching. The artist used a lot of energy to draw this scene, with lines going in all directions. It's interesting that the title tells a story, but the picture doesn't give us all the details, so we have to think about what's happening. Look up the technique: etching to learn more about how this was made.
