This image shows a simple scene: a basket with a baby inside, floating on a river. The background is a green hill and a pale sky. The word "album" is written at the top, and "original" is scrawled below the basket. The painting looks rough and sketchy, with uneven lines and flat colors. The artist used a method that lets colors sit next to each other without blending. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
