About this work

This print shows a crowd of small figures walking along a winding path through a hilly, textured landscape. On the right side, a red-and-black vertical strip adds bold shapes—geometric patterns, a face, and a dog. The edges look torn, and the whole piece has a rough, layered feel. The artist used woodcut, a technique where ink is pressed into carved wood to make prints. The mix of black, red, and beige creates a stark contrast. Look up woodcut to see how this method works.
