This print shows a group of people standing in a wooded area at dusk. The sky is a deep red, while the trees and figures are carved in black and white lines. Some people are standing, others are sitting or crouching near a horse. The rough, textured look comes from the way the artist carved into wood to make the print. The lines are simple but bold, giving the scene a strong, almost dramatic feel. Look up woodcut to see how this technique works.
