This engraving shows a winged figure standing barefoot on a flat ground. The figure holds a scroll in one hand and has a calm, serious face. Behind it, small trees and a low wall form a simple background. The figure’s wings are detailed with careful lines, and the scroll looks like it might have writing. The artist used shading to give the figure depth. Next, look up engraving to see how this technique works.
