This print shows three floating figures against a deep blue sky, their bodies blurred and ghostly. Below them, a crowd of small, hurried people moves across a light ground, some holding objects or looking upward. The sky has jagged, uneven strokes, while the figures and crowd are drawn with loose, sketchy lines. The artist used a technique where ink is transferred onto paper through a stone or metal plate—this is how the print’s soft, smudged look was made. Try looking up lithography to see how it works.
