Artist, German, 1888 - 1965

This is a drawing of two abstract figures. The drawing features two stylized human-like forms outlined in black on a light background. The figures are shown standing side by side, with one slightly in front of the other, both depicted with elongated and simplified limbs. The faces of these figures are rendered without detail, using smooth, clean lines. The overall composition highlights a sense of motion or connection between the figures, achieved through the fluid, continuous lines connecting the two forms.
