This drawing shows a busy city street packed with people and horses. Knights in armor ride down the road, while crowds watch from buildings. The scene looks crowded and full of activity, with lots of small details like horses, weapons, and people talking. The artist packed in so many tiny figures that it’s hard to pick out just one. The whole thing looks like a snapshot of a big event in a town. Next, check out how etching works to see how artists made prints like this.
