About this work

This black-and-white print shows a horse with wings, standing still but looking alert. The horse’s feathers are drawn in quick, sketchy lines, while its body is smoother, almost like carved stone. A person’s arm reaches out from the left side, touching the horse’s neck. The mix of soft and rough lines makes the image feel mysterious. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit in different ways, creating shadows and texture. Try looking up *lithography* to see how this technique works.
