About this work

This print shows three people walking side by side on a bridge. The background looks like a dark, rainy day with a wall and a window. Their clothes are simple: one wears a dark coat, another a patterned dress with a light shawl, and the third has a floral skirt. The artist used rough, sketchy lines and muted colors, almost like a quick sketch. The scene feels quiet and ordinary, not polished. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
