About this work

This sketch shows a scary old man with wild hair and a beard, holding a giant scythe. He’s standing on a pile of sleeping bodies—some look like kids—while a winged figure hovers behind him. The scene is dark and rough, with heavy shadows and jagged lines. The artist used only four shades of gray to create deep contrast, making the figures pop. This style is called *chiaroscuro*, which means strong light and dark areas. Next, look up technique: woodcut to see how this print was made.
