This print shows a chaotic scene with four figures. On the left, a boy in a hat holds a spear, looking at a woman kneeling with a lamb. Behind them, a bull’s head looms over the woman. To the right, a skeletal figure leans on a boat, with another person crouching nearby. The dark, jagged lines and deep shadows create a sense of violence and unease. The artist used sharp contrasts to make the scene feel dramatic. Try looking up engraving to see how this technique creates such strong lines.
