In-text plate from Kirchner Zeichnungen (Kirchner Drawings)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an abstract composition with a mix of angular and curved lines intersecting and overlapping to create a complex pattern of shapes. Central to the image, the shapes resemble natural forms like mountains or jagged peaks, while vertical lines suggest tree trunks or tall structures. The abstract design is surrounded by a rectangular space and features patterns resembling both man-made and organic elements.
