About this work

This image shows a black-and-white scene of leafless trees lining a narrow path. The branches twist tightly together, creating a dense, tangled wall on both sides. Below the trees, a shallow stream runs across the path, reflecting the bare branches. The artist used fine, scratchy lines to build up the texture of bark and water. The paper has a rough, handmade look, which makes the lines pop even more. Next, check out how this artist used etching to create such sharp details.
