European village street scene
Four woodpeckers are depicted on a tree branch producing multi-pointed leaves and small, black berries. The woodpeckers are characterized by raised red feathers on their heads with thick black and red bands on each side of their faces.Their bodies are covered primarily in black feathers with white on their necks and underside of their wings.
This etching is created with black ink on paper. It represents a row of houses along a street. There is a tree immediately in front of the house in the foreground. Leaning on that tree is a collapsing fence, also in front of the house. Beyond the fence is a sidewalk and then a street. Three people are walking in the street. Near the figures is a prominently placed power pole. Houses perched on hills extend down the street, receding into the background. Behind the houses is a large hill or slag pile.
