This print shows a quiet landscape with two people walking under a large, twisting tree. The sky is filled with wispy clouds, and a river winds through the scene. In the distance, a small village and a castle sit on a hill. The artist used shading to make the trees and figures stand out against the light background. This effect makes the scene feel peaceful and a little mysterious. Look up *chiaroscuro* to learn more about this shading technique.
