Woodcut print in black and white depicting three figures in a forest setting; a central standing figure with arms outstretched, flanked by two robed figures, with stylized bare trees and a village with onion domes visible in the background. Bold, high-contrast carving with white-on-black linework and dotted ground texture.
Woodcut print in black and white depicting four standing figures in ornate patterned robes beneath dense tree canopy, with bold flat areas of black and gestural white markings; a monogram appears at lower right.
