Artist, German, 1881 - 1919

The image is an etching depicting a person standing with arms crossed, facing left but looking over their shoulder. The figure's facial features are slightly abstract with prominent eyebrows and lips, and short hair. The person appears unclothed, with sketch-like lines defining the body. Faint outlines of other figures or forms surround the main figure in an abstract, unfinished style. The background is a textured, neutral-toned surface.
