About this work

This print shows two tall, skinny figures that look like horses or humans on stilts. Their legs are stretched out, almost like they’re walking on wires. The heads are small and round, with big dark eyes. The whole scene feels a little off-balance, like they’re floating or falling. The artist signed it "Marini" in the corner, and the style looks rough and sketchy. The background is just a light, blurry gray, so the figures stand out even more. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
