Der Polster (The Cushion)

About this work

This image shows a person curled up on a bench, wrapped in a blanket with their head resting on a large cushion. Behind them, a brick wall and a window with white curtains let in light. The bench has a patterned seat in green, yellow, and white, and the floor is made of dark wood planks. The artist used bold lines and simple shapes to create this scene, giving it a flat, graphic look. The colors are bright but limited, making the image feel calm and quiet. If you like this style, look up woodcut to see how artists carve images into wood.
