About this work

This engraving shows stick-like figures with sharp edges standing in a row. Their arms reach up like branches. The background is dark, almost black. The figures look trapped between life and death. Their hollow eyes and stiff poses suggest grief. The artist made this after losing people in war. It reminds me of Käthe Kollwitz’s prints. Look up her work next.
