This image shows two scenes stacked unevenly. The top half is a green, dreamy field where three nude figures dance or pose, their bodies blurred and soft. A red wall and a white horse stand in the background, looking slightly faded. The bottom half is darker, with a man in a hat and coat walking on a rocky path. His face is turned away, and the ground looks rough and uneven. The two scenes don’t quite match up—they’re like two different worlds smashed together. This style is made using lithography.
