The Fall into Infinity

Walter Gramatté

National Gallery of Art

This image displays the upper half of a figure positioned diagonally. The head is tilted downwards with abstract facial features including a prominent brow, deep-set eyes, and a furrowed expression. The dark hair flows backwards dynamically. An arm is outstretched upwards with slightly curled fingers. The surroundings are minimal with sketch-like lines indicating motion or energy, along with a faint outlined circle around the hand. The background is lightly colored and lacks detail, emphasizing the emotive gesture of the central figure.
