It invites contemplation on various aspects of life through rich visual symbolism. Other notable artworks include depictions like "The Torrent and the River, " reminding us that even seemingly insignificant entities can make significant impacts when united; or "Nothing Too Much, " which emphasizes moderation in all things through intricate engravings.
