Spring

Eduard Willmann, after Julius Mařák

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a forest with a path winding through the trees, a figure carrying something on their shoulder walks on the path. The dense foliage covers the horizon. The landscape is detailed in fine etching strokes with various shades of gray creating a monochrome palette. Shadows and textures suggest depth, with a pond on the right.
