Spring, wood engraving by Henry Wolf, 1891

A seated male figure in classical drapery plays a lyre in a sunlit grove of slender trees and shrubs, with a distant view of water and hills beyond. The fine parallel lines of the wood engraving model the foliage, grass and the figure's robes, giving the scene a soft, pastoral atmosphere.
