About this work

This print shows two animals tangled together. One looks like a big cat with sharp lines and a wild mane. The other is a smaller creature, maybe a dog or fox, with its legs wrapped around the cat’s neck. The whole scene is in black and white, with rough, carved edges that make it look like it was stamped or pressed. The artist used a method called *linoleum cut*—they carved into rubbery linoleum and then inked it. The thick, bold lines give it a strong, almost fierce energy. Look up Christian Rohlfs next to see more of his bold, graphic work.
