This drawing shows a quiet village nestled in a valley. Snow covers the rooftops and trees. Hills rise on both sides, with a church spire poking up near the center. A winding path cuts through the scene, lined with bare branches. The artist used fine lines to show every leaf and shadow. It looks like the whole scene was drawn by hand, then printed. Next, check out how this was made with lithography.
