About this work

This black-and-white print shows a busy scene with people and animals gathered around a woman seated on steps. She holds a book and looks like the center of attention. Behind her is a fancy building with columns and a balcony, while trees and a dog add to the mix. One child sits on the steps, another leans against the wall, and a man stands nearby. The word *GRAMATICA* at the bottom hints this isn’t just a random scene—it’s likely about learning or writing. The artist used sharp lines to create depth and texture, making the figures and architecture stand out. Want to see more like this? Try looking up etching next.
