Observations
Across all four panels, the style uses dense black-and-white pen drawing with delicate contour lines, crosshatching, and stippled textures. It combines stark, simplified silhouettes with highly specific costumes, birdlike faces, umbrellas, architecture, and barren settings, producing an eerie but whimsical illustrated tableau.
