About this work

This print shows four stick-like figures in black and white. On the left, a woman stands with her arms at her sides. In the middle, a man holds up a hand like he’s speaking. To the right, another man plays a violin while a woman stands nearby. In the background, a horse and a dog are drawn in simple shapes. The text on the right reads *"Schweizer Arbeit"* and *"von E.L. Kirchner"* with the years 1916–1920. The style looks rough and flat, like it was carved into wood. Check out woodcut to see how artists make prints this way.
