About this work

This black-and-white print shows a quiet countryside scene. A winding road cuts through rolling hills covered in trees and bushes. A few sheep graze near the path, and a small building sits in the distance. The sky is faint but visible above the hills. The artist used a technique that creates texture by scratching into metal plates. This makes the lines look rough and layered, almost like the real landscape. Look up etching to see how artists like this one make prints.
