Fractur (Illuminated Writing)

John Koehl

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a calligraphic script. The image features an elaborate calligraphy style with the text "Dein Lebenslang" prominently displayed in large letters at the top, using a combination of red and blue colors with black outlines. Beneath this, there are several lines of cursive script written in a traditional black ink. The entire page is framed by a decorative border. The calligraphy is carefully crafted, with attention to the flow and elegance of each letter.
