In-text plate from Kirchner Zeichnungen (Kirchner Drawings)
The image displays jagged, angular lines and shapes forming an abstract composition. Some shapes resemble trees and rugged mountainous landscapes, suggesting a forested scene with light and shadow interplay. Bold black and white contrast enhances the abstract quality, and the dense, overlapping forms evoke a thicket or dense woods, with towering trees and uneven terrain.
