The Dog Catcher

Ernst Barlach

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of figures in a dynamic composition. The scene shows several figures draped in flowing garments, depicted in strong black lines on a light background. The figures appear to be in motion, with exaggerated postures and facial expressions. The background features abstracted natural elements like swooping lines. The style is reminiscent of early 20th-century modernist art.
