About this work

This wood engraving depicts a serene scene of a woman sitting on a boat, surrounded by a tranquil landscape. The woman's long hair flows behind her as she gazes out at the water, where two animals are swimming. In the background, a figure is visible, and the sky above is filled with clouds. The engraving is rendered in a range of tones, from deep blacks to light grays, which adds depth and texture to the image. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of movement and energy, drawing the viewer's eye through the composition. The Museum of Modern Art is home to many impressive works of art, including this beautiful wood engraving.
