About this work

This print shows a quiet winter scene with bare trees lining a frozen pond. The branches twist against a dark sky, while the water below is cracked with ice. Shadows and light play across the scene, making the trees look almost ghostly. The artist used a mix of ink and wiping to create soft, smudged areas—this is called *monotype wiping*. It’s a trick to make the print feel more like a sketch. Want to see more? Check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington, where this print lives.
