Spitzköpfig Kommt Er... (With a Pointed Head He Rises) (headpiece, page 13) from Georg Heym: Umbra Vitae (Georg Heym: The Shadow of Life)
This is a drawing of a village scene with houses and foliage. The artwork is executed in a bold, woodcut style and features several small, peaked-roof houses nestled among abstracted trees and foliage. There is a figure with a pointed head and intricate patterns in the surroundings. The drawing is surrounded by text in German. The monochromatic, high-contrast technique is typical of woodblock prints.
