This print shows a simple blue shape on a light background. On the left, two tall, skinny figures stand near a building with windows. Below them, a wavy line looks like water or a path, with a few small marks that might be plants or rocks. The sky is just a few loose brushstrokes. The artist used only two colors—blue and the paper’s beige—and kept the lines rough and uneven. The figures look more like sketches than detailed drawings.
