DescriptionImage of a dense forest with a canopy of tall, slender trees that stretch upward filling the top half of the frame with their web of branches. A small girl sits near a resting goat at the trunk of a tree in the lower-center foreground. Across the textured terrain, other goats roam through the brush. The landscape is rendered in densely packed, tight vertical cross-hatching that creates dappled light and deep shadows.
