This print is all black and white. It shows a crowd of people packed together, arms raised, as if singing or shouting. The shapes are rough and wavy, like scribbled lines. Rain or light streaks down the left side. The word "Choral" is written at the bottom—this hints the scene might be about a group singing. The artist used a simple tool: they carved the design into wood, then printed it. Look up woodcut to see how this print was made.
