This is a print of a woodland scene with various animals. The artwork shows a dense forest with twisting, leafless trees and undulating ground patterns. In the top left, there is a large owl perched on a tree branch, looking down towards the center of the scene where two snakes are coiled around another tree. Other animals like cats, dogs, rats, and a frog are scattered across the forest floor. The lines of the print are in white against a black background, giving the impression of a dark forest floor.
