This image shows a woman in a red robe holding a small child, both standing on a green patch of grass. The woman has a golden halo with rays behind her head, and the child looks down at her. To the right, there’s black text in a fancy, angular script—some of it looks like a prayer. The red color on the woman’s robe is hand-painted, while the rest of the image is carved and printed in brown ink. The text is split into two parts: the top is smaller, and the bottom is a longer prayer. Next, check out how this was made with the technique: woodcut.
