This black-and-white print shows a group of men in a room. One boy sits in the center, reading a book while others stand or kneel around him. Some men hold books or point at the boy. A dog sleeps on the floor. The room has tall windows and shelves with books. The boy looks like he’s teaching the older men. This print was made by carving lines into metal, then inking it. Next, check out the technique: engraving.
