I Plunged into Solitude. I Dwelt in the Tree behind Me, plate 9 of 24

Español: Me sumergí en la soledad. Habité el árbol detrás de mí

Una litografía oscura y densa de un tronco de árbol macizo y retorcido que ocupa el centro de la composición, con la corteza trazada en trazos suaves y ondulantes. Ramas con escasas hojas se extienden hacia el borde superior, mientras una oquedad sombría se abre en el tronco y el follaje se pierde en la penumbra a la derecha.

Português: Mergulhei na solidão. Habitei a árvore atrás de mim

Uma litografia escura e densa de um tronco de árvore maciço e retorcido ocupando o centro da imagem, com a casca desenhada em traços suaves e sinuosos. Galhos com poucas folhas avançam até a borda superior, enquanto uma cavidade sombria se abre no tronco e a folhagem se dissolve na escuridão à direita.
