About this work

This print depicts a dense tropical forest with a tall clump of fan palms rising at the center, flanked by broad-canopied trees and a slender palm on the right. A small seated figure, partly draped, rests on the ground at lower right, giving a sense of scale to the vegetation. The work is rendered in fine lines and hatching.
