This image shows a quiet, monochrome scene of a lone tree standing on a small hill. The tree’s branches spread out against a rough, textured background, with a few scattered rocks at its base. The lines are simple but detailed, giving the whole scene a slightly rough, sketchy feel. The artist used a technique that creates deep shadows and fine details with ink on metal. This makes the image look almost like a drawing pressed onto paper. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
