This print shows a cityscape made of sharp, black shapes and lines. Buildings stack unevenly, like blocks pushed together. The sky is just thin, slanted lines—no clouds, no color. Everything looks geometric, almost like a puzzle. The artist used woodcut, a technique where ink is carved into wood and pressed onto paper. The way the lines overlap gives the scene a busy, almost chaotic feel. Look up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
