About this work

This print shows a lone figure walking under an umbrella, their back to us. The wall behind them is covered in red, swirling patterns like vines or flames. A streetlamp and a horse’s head peek out from the top right corner. The artist used a mix of dark lines and soft shading to make the scene feel both sharp and dreamy. The red dominates, but the light areas keep it from feeling heavy. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this carve images into metal plates.
