Lodgings for the Night

An etching of a bare, windswept landscape where a bent-branched tree rises above a canvas sheet stretched as a makeshift shelter over a dark hollow. Two or three figures lie huddled inside the hollow beneath the tent, while broken timber lies at the left and scrubby hills fade into hatched shadow.
