Büsser is a 1912 ink by Wilhelm Lehmbruck, held at National Gallery of Art.
You're looking at a drypoint print of a person curled up. The person is nude, with their knees bent up and their head resting on their arms. The background is a light tan color, with some darker lines and shading around the person. The person's body is curved in a smooth, flowing shape, with their arms and legs tucked in. The lines and shading around them give the impression of movement and energy, even though they're curled up in a resting position.
