About this work

This is a black-and-white print with two main scenes. On the left, a draped figure stands under a tall, broken column. The right side shows a group of people climbing rocky steps, with birds flying above. The text in the center reads *"Dramen"* and credits Max Klinger as the artist. The print mixes detailed linework with soft shading, creating depth. The broken column and the people’s struggle hint at themes of loss or effort. The title suggests this is part of a series of dramatic illustrations. Look up Klinger, Max to see more of his striking, symbolic work.
