This print is all black lines and dots on a light background. Shapes twist and overlap—some look like people, others like animals or plants. The lines are thick in some spots, thin in others, and the whole thing feels busy but balanced. The artist used a carving method to make this. Ink was pressed into the wood, then stamped onto paper. Look up woodcut next to see how it works.
