Artist, German, 1880 - 1938

This is a stylized woodcut print featuring a person standing with a hand raised to their face in a thoughtful pose. The person's facial features are abstracted but suggest eyes, a nose, and a mouth, and their hair or head covering is stylized. The clothing is loosely fitted with patterned folds, and there are swirling, abstract patterns around the figure resembling foliage. The background features high-contrast, jagged lines and patterns for added texture.
