Caption

Inside the forest; 1881. Woodcut/graphic illustration by Józefa Kleczenska after Feliks Brzozowski 1836–1892. Depicts a winter forest scene with deer and snow; Polish painting/graphics; press illustration., A monochrome scene rendered in shades of black, gray, and off-white shows a snow-covered forest with tall bare trees rising from the ground, their trunks textured with bark patterns and some with knots and scars. In the middle distance a small group of deer stand among the trees, facing toward the viewer. Snow rests on low branches and blankets the uneven ground, which slopes down to a dark stream partially filled by a rounded snow-covered bank. Grasses and reeds poke through the snow along the stream edge, and a dense stand of trees fills the background, creating layered vertical lines and a sense of depth. The overall image is contained within a light border.
