This black-and-white image shows three small figures walking along a path beside a river. Tall trees line the water, their branches dense and dark. The background has rolling hills and a sky framed by a circular border. The artist used fine lines to create texture, especially in the water and trees. This method is called etching. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this make detailed prints.
