About this work

This print shows a tall figure in a green robe holding a staff, standing on a small platform. Behind them, a crowd of smaller people reaches upward, their faces blurred. The colors are flat and bold—greens, reds, and blues—with sharp black outlines. The artist used a woodcut technique, carving the image into wood and printing it. This style makes the lines look crisp and the shapes simple. Look up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
