About this work

This print shows a quiet beach at dusk. The sky is a flat gray-blue. The sand is dark near the water, then lightens toward the shore. A few bare trees stand in a row. One small building with a red roof sits behind them. A pale moon hangs low over the water. The artist used thick, rough lines to block out shapes. The colors are simple—no shadows or details. It looks hand-carved, not painted. Look up woodcut next to see how this print was made.
