About this work

This print shows two goats standing on a narrow path, facing each other. One goat is mostly white with dark patches, and the other is darker with a lighter face. The background has a moon, some brushy plants, and a sky full of loose, sketchy lines. The artist used a technique that leaves rough, textured marks—this isn’t a smooth drawing. The way the lines blur together gives it a dreamy, almost floating feel. If you like this style, look up etching to see how it works.
