This print shows a family traveling through a wooded landscape. A man leads a donkey carrying a child, while another child walks beside him. Trees fill the background, and a rocky stream runs near their feet. The artist used fine lines to create deep shadows and texture, especially in the trees and rocks. This style makes the scene feel three-dimensional. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for drama.
