About this work

You see a dark field with a few pale cows standing close together at night. Mataré carved this image straight into a wood block, then printed it. The grain of the wood shows through the ink, giving the scene a rough, quiet texture. He made it while living in Estonia, far from German cities. Look up other works in the woodcut technique.
