Edge of a Wood with Travelers in a Carriage is a 1625 ink by Jean Morin, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet forest path with three people walking. One person leads a horse pulling a small cart. The trees are thick and dark, with a big one right in the middle. The ground looks rocky and uneven, and the sky is faint but visible above the trees. The artist used lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel real. This style was common in the 1600s. Look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
