About this work

This print shows a stormy night scene in black and white. Jagged lightning splits the sky, while thick clouds loom over a dark landscape. Below, a wavy line suggests water or rough ground, and a few small shapes might be trees or bushes. The artist used sharp, bold lines to create drama. The contrast between light and dark makes the lightning stand out. Next, look up woodcut to see how this print was made.
