The Seventh Day

Ernst Barlach

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated figure from the waist up, leaning against jagged rocks. The individual has a long beard, eyeglasses, and unkempt hair flowing past their shoulders. Their arms are folded over their lap, and they wear a robe. The background includes a mountainous landscape with water and clouds in the sky. The style is monochromatic and linear, emphasizing contrast between the figure and the environment.
