Solitary Woman at Snow-Covered Graveyard

A solitary snow angel, etched in the stark, graphic style of a scratchboard print, kneels at the weathered headstone of a forgotten grave. The snow swirls around her form, rendered with bold, decisive lines and heavy cross-hatching. Her face, barely suggested, conveys profound sorrow; a silent lament for a lost soul. The entire scene is bathed in the golden, melancholic hues of a dying sunset - ochre, burnt orange, and muted yellows, as if the very light mourns with her. Deep shadows emphasize the relief-like quality of the image, hinting at the fragility of memory and the enduring power of grief. The grave itself is overgrown with frost-kissed foliage, adding to the scenes desolate beauty and timeless quality. A sense of ancient sorrow permeates the air, captured in the meticulous detail and dramatic contrasts of the woodcut aesthetic.
