Norway

Bare mountain ridges and a wide fjord fill the background, rendered in loose parallel hatching, while an oversized winged ray glides low over the water, its patterned back marked with rows of small ovals. Below, a solitary figure stands atop a wooden roof with both arms raised toward the creature, and to the right a small herd of animals and a fir tree stand among the rocks.

Built up through dense, energetic linework, the etching uses heavy hatching for the ray's body and softer strokes for the misty mountains and water, creating strong contrast between the fantastical creature and the otherwise realistic terrain. The scene carries a quiet, dreamlike wonder, as if the figure has just discovered something impossible passing overhead.
