Die Stadt der Qual (The City of Agony) (in-text plate) from mock-up of Georg Heym: Umbra Vitae (Georg Heym: Shadow of Life)

The image displays sharply angled lines and blocky shapes in an abstract composition. Within the forms, there are figures reminiscent of people with elongated bodies and angular features. The black lines contrast against the white background, creating a dynamic flow. There are elements that suggest architecture, like buildings and a steeple, enhancing the urban scene.
