Fjord is a 1916 ink by Jacoba van Heemskerck van Beest, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows dark mountains framing a narrow waterway. The waves are carved into clean, sharp lines. The paper is mostly black and white, with a few light spots where the ink didn’t stick. The artist used a tool to cut shapes into wood, then pressed ink into those grooves. That’s how the lines got so bold and clean. Look up woodcut to see how it works.
