This black-and-white print shows a man and woman standing close under a tree. The man wears a hat and armor, holding a bunch of flowers. The woman has long hair, a fancy dress, and a necklace. Birds fly around them, and a distant building is visible. The woman holds a small object in her hands, maybe a book or a heart. The artist used fine lines to show details like the armor’s texture and the leaves. Next, look up etching to see how this print was made.
