Landscape

About this work

This drawing shows a big, symmetrical house on a raised platform by the water. Two small guard towers sit at each corner, and a wide staircase leads up to the front door. In the foreground, a woman in a long dress walks with a man carrying a pole, while another man stands nearby with a spear. The scene looks calm but carefully planned, with sharp lines and dark shading. The artist used a method that lets ink sit on the plate to create this detailed look.
