Shed on the Bank of the Elbe

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woodcut print of a wooden structure with figures below. The style features sharp black-and-white contrasts and angular lines. The horizon line is implied by the buildings meeting the sky. Two figures and a dog are depicted on a pathway leading to stairs. The stairs lead to additional structures. In the distance, there are more buildings and trees. The color palette is black against light-colored paper.
