This print shows two tall, shadowy figures standing close together. Their shapes are rough and uneven, like they were carved into wood. The background is mostly dark lines with some light patches, giving it a grainy, textured look. The artist added watercolor in places to soften some edges and highlight certain spots. This mix of woodcut and watercolor makes the print feel both scratchy and smooth at the same time. If you like this style, look up Ewald Mataré for more of his work.
