This image shows three men in a room checking hunting guns by candlelight. Their faces glow in the dim light while tools and weapons pile up around them. The artist carved this picture on metal, not painted it. Cross-hatching—the fine lines he used—gives the scene both texture and depth. See it for yourself at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
