This image is a black-and-white woodcut with sharp, angular shapes. Two tall figures stand side by side, their bodies made of simple lines and blocks. Behind them, smaller shapes—like houses, trees, and a bridge—are scattered across a busy background. The whole scene feels geometric, almost like a puzzle. The artist used tiny dots and lines to create shadows and texture, giving depth without color. This kind of detailed linework is called cross-hatching. Check out how this technique works in cross-hatching.
