This is a woodcut print of a lighthouse on the left and a ship on the right. Bold black lines are set against a coral background, creating a dynamic composition. The lighthouse has a geometric structure with a defined top, while the ship is depicted with simple forms, suggesting movement. The use of shapes and lines conveys motion and perspective, typical of abstract or expressionist styles. This artwork is reminiscent of Lyonel Feininger's style.
