About this work

This engraving shows three figures in a wooded landscape. A bearded man with horns and a leafy crown sits on a rock, holding a woman with flowing hair. A small child stands nearby, reaching toward them. Trees and bushes fill the background, with a distant church tower and a river visible in the far distance. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and textures, like the folds in the figures’ skin and the leaves on the trees. This method is called cross-hatching. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
