This picture shows a group of people playing music in a park. Trees line the background, and a fence runs along the right side. Some folks sit on the grass, others stand. One person plays a harp, another a flute, and a dog lies nearby. The artist used shading to show light and dark spots. This makes the scene look three-dimensional. Check out how etching works to see how this image was made.
