Knight and Lady

About this work

This engraving shows a knight on horseback climbing a steep, winding path toward a castle. Below him, a lady kneels in a garden, surrounded by flowers and vines. The path is lined with trees and small buildings, while the castle sits on a high hill, its walls and towers detailed with tiny arches and battlements. The lady’s pose looks like she’s waiting or praying, while the knight’s journey feels determined. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, especially in the castle’s texture. Next, look up *cross-hatching* to see how this technique works.
