This engraving shows a group of men in old-fashioned clothes, walking together in a city setting. Some carry staffs or hold hands, while others look serious or slightly worried. Behind them, a tall brick wall with arches and small windows frames the scene. Notice how the artist used fine lines to create shadows and textures—this makes the figures look three-dimensional. The buildings and clothing suggest a time long ago. Try looking up engraving to see how artists use this technique to make detailed prints.
