About this work

This print shows a single, twisted tree with thick branches and sparse leaves. The lines are bold and scratchy, almost like the bark is peeling away. Light and dark areas make the tree look rough and uneven. The title is written in Greek, which means "aged tree." The artist signed it in the corner, but the rest of the details are simple. Look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create dramatic effects.
