Associated Names

Karl Schrag

Artist, American, 1912 - 1996

The image shows a man standing on a raised platform surrounded by a crowd. He is leaning slightly forward with his head tilted downward, with a somber expression. His upper body is bare and he wears loose-fitting pants. Around the platform are several figures, some gesturing towards the man; one wears a helmet and holds a staff. In the foreground, a woman with a headscarf sits, looking up at the man. The background includes dark, textured buildings and looming figures on horseback to the right.
