About this work

This painting is all dark brown blocks with white lines. The lines twist and climb—some straight, some wavy—like vines or cracks. On the right side, a rough shape looks like a curled-up animal or maybe a person lying down. The white lines stand out sharply against the wood-grain background. The artist used a tool to carve into wood, then inked the grooves to make the lines. Try looking up woodcut to see how this print was made.
