This print shows two small black-and-white scenes on a light background. The top picture looks like a woman holding a baby, with a dark shape behind them. The bottom picture shows a person sitting in a chair, with their hands resting on their lap. The artist used a simple, flat style with strong lines and no shading. These are woodcuts, which means the image was carved into wood and then printed. Look up woodcut to see how this technique works.
