This is a print from 1995 called *The Neighbour's Fence*. It’s a wood engraving by Hilary Paynter. The piece shows a quiet, everyday scene with sharp focus. Paynter often picks subjects about daily life and hidden emotions. Wood engraving uses fine lines cut into wood to print white details. The ink sits on top, so the lines stay crisp and clean.
