This print shows a man in a hat and coat walking with a woman in traditional robes. Behind them, bare trees stand against a snowy hillside. To the right, a round window frames a woman reading by lamplight, while a smaller figure in blue stands nearby. The artist mixed bold colors—reds, blacks, and greens—with soft, sketchy lines for the trees. The reading scene feels cozy but also a little mysterious, like a snapshot of daily life. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
