This woodcut shows two men on a rocky shore at night. One stands tall, holding a spear, while the other kneels, his head bowed. The waves crash behind them, and the sky is dark with swirling lines. The artist carved out the shapes, leaving the background mostly black. This makes the figures stand out sharply against the stormy sea. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
