This image shows a robed man with a tall, pointed hat holding a long staff. He stands near a riverbank where a small child reaches toward him. Behind them, a simple village and trees stretch into the distance, with a blue sky and orange border framing the scene. The colors are bright but faded, with red, blue, and gold standing out. The style looks rough and hand-drawn, like it was made by cutting shapes into wood and coloring them in. Next, look up technique: woodcut to see how this kind of print was made.
