This print shows two nude figures standing close together in a garden. One person has their arms around the other, while the other rests their head on their shoulder. The background is filled with simple, blocky trees and bushes, all in black against a light tan paper. The artist used a woodcut method, which means they carved the design into wood and then printed it. This style makes the lines sharp and the shapes flat. Look up woodcut to see how this printing technique works.
